[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why I continue to be shocked by the angry, incredulous tone of every response to reasonable, mom-to-mom questions on DCUM…people really need to CALM DOWN.

Of course I plan to provide for her accommodations, all meals, etc. Of course I plan to pay her exactly what she deserves, WHICH IS WHY IM ASKING ON HERE what is standard. We love her and she loves us. We don’t pay her overtime because I have never had her stay overtime. I relieve her each day a minute or two before quitting time and no later. If she babysits on a Saturday night after working for us during the week, we pay her our usual rate, which is exactly what she has asked for. If we go on vacation without her, I pay her her 40 hours, because that’s what we guarantee her each week. I don’t know why it’s so offensive to ask whether I can simply count her hours on different days, ensuring they add up to our agreed upon 40 minimum, and then pay her overtime for anything beyond that.

As I said in my post, I’ve never done this before, and I’m a relatively new mom. The way everyone automatically assumed I wouldn’t feed her, or “ship her off to a random place” or that i plan to not treat her well in any way is absurd.

SORRY I ASKED. [/quote]

OP you should understand what overtime is. Any hours worked over 40 hours in one work week is overtime. [/quote]
