[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your nanny if she’ll do an overnight for $$$ and get a local hotel room. [/quote]

The nanny has kids of her own. The answer is no.

[/quote]

What if her kids could crash at your house? What if you went over the summer (no school issues for her kids/your kids)? What if you paid her time and a half or a $1k bonus? [/quote]

Or what if OP just found a new nanny who available on weekends?

Sometimes the easiest and simplest solution is the best one. Done.[/quote]

Nobody wants to work 24/7 for regular pay. [/quote]

Actually, I am open to 24/7.  (Not rota!  I don’t want to deal with what another nanny leaves...)  Most states allow for employers of live-in nannies to not pay overtime, so I just negotiate salary for up to 24/5 or up to 24/7.  However, I’m out of budget for the majority of families.  My salary starts at $1000 for 24/5 with 1 child at home all day or all kids in school 3+ hours per day.[/quote]
