[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why other posters feel the need to weigh in without anything useful to say…? You ask a valid question regardless of terminology.

When our new nanny started, we had her watch DC for a few hours on a weekend so they could get to know one another. It gave her a chance to ask questions and get to know how we do things. I typed up some basic instructions (daily routine, emergency contact info, where to find important items like medication, food likes/dislikes and ideas, etc). I gave it to her in advance and then we talked through it on her first day. [/quote]

Did you pay 1.5 time for interrupting her weekend?  [/quote]

I think you’re just trying to be rude, but the answer is that no, I did not. We hadn’t officially hired her yet, as in we hadn’t made an offer or signed a contract. But we had told her that we were interested in hiring her and we asked her when she could do a trial day. We discussed availability and decided on a Saturday morning. We paid her what is now her hourly rate, which is generous and way more than I  have paid a babysitter.[/quote]
