Unless this woman is Mary Poppins I find it unlikely that there will be loads of people clamoring to pay 30-45/ hour for a babysitter with a healthy dose of entitlement and flawed sense of logic.[/quote]
The way OP's contract is now, nanny is only guaranteed 15 hours per week at $30-so $450/week.   Obviously that is not enough to live on, so  Nanny doesn't NEED this money.  Maybe she's a college student or has a wealthy spouse or...who knows what...but she's not going to put up with what she perceives to be unfair treatment (regardless of whether or not that's correct, it's what she perceives) for $450/week.[/quote]

I have no idea what you are trying to say.  Are you saying that people who aren't paid living wages must not need money?

Maybe she's a college student with a scholarship that covers her dorm but she needs living expenses, and books.

Maybe she's married, and with that $450 and her spouse's minimum wage job she eeks out a living.

Maybe she's working 2 jobs.

Plenty of people in low paid positions need to be paid.

OP, she's wrong about the OT, unless that's the agreement you worked out.  You and she probably need to sit down and work out expectations for extra hours more clearly. [/quote]
