Instead of paying 3 different rates, I pay just one generous rate. To simplify things, have all three families pay for 40 hours--the 35 hour family would most likely need to pay full time anywhere else so trying to accommodate their savings is just silly. Then, specify an overtime rate for the one family who needs 45. This would be the easiest way and the most fair to the nanny.

This is a very smart way to put it. In our thinking we would have all paid the same amount anyway, with the exception of families that accrued over time.
I have no doubt that the nanny could handle it- but just hard to leave an OK (not not great) daycare experience for the complete unknown.
