[quote=Anonymous]I am trying to work out child care arrangements for when baby no 2 arrives.  Our first child is 2 and we have a fulltime nanny.  Our nanny has generally said she is happy to be available when I go into labor and am in the hospital, but we haven't had a detailed conversation yet.  How do people typically compensate nannies in these circumstances?  Do I just pay her her regular rate ($26) plus overtime for the number of hours she is at our house?  Do we agree a daily rate for the extra hours, in addition to the hourly rate she would get on a normal day?

Other info that may be relevant:  I'm in MD and we pay on the books using a payroll service.  There's a decent chance I end up having a c-section, in which case I'd be in the hospital for at least 3 days.  A family member may be able to come for some of the time.  We haven't discussed with our nanny whether she wants to stay on after my maternity leave ends which is also when her contract expires.  We'd be happy for her to stay (my first child loves her and she has shown great judgment during COVID), but she has always looked after toddlers and older so she may not want to.[/quote]
