[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are asking her to do extra hours and more duties, then its reasonable to give her a bit more money and a raise after the child is born.  I don't think its unreasonable.  This is her job.  If you got more duties, more hours, etc. you would expect a raise.  It sounds like you cannot afford three kids an a nanny and that is not her problem.[/quote]

We're not talking about after my maternity leave, we're talking about more hours and money starting immediately like when I check into the hospital in two days. Oh, and she will no longer do the things we have been paying her to do. [/quote]

You should pay her OT - time and a half for any extra hours over 40.  You tell her you will pay her xxx and that you expect the following to be done - meals cooked, laundry done, quick vacuum of areas she uses or what ever you agreed to. Its not fair to ask her to work more hours while you are in the hospital for the same pay.  Then, if she doesn't continue to do the things required finds new nanny.   But, if you are requesting more hours for the same pay, that's not reasonable. Quality of work is separate from work hours.  [/quote]
Who said OP wasn't paying her nanny OT?  It's illegal not to pay your nanny OT in all of the DC area states--it's not an option you provide as a perk during maternity leave.[/quote]
