If he was in daycare, there would be a nap or quiet time daily even atv4.

He's not in daycare and therefore is not subject to daycare schedules.

If he were in daycare, there would be the peer pressure to conform.

Everyone here is forgetting that kids have different needs. Our pediatrician said we should give our non-napping 2 year old an hour of quiet time in the crib because she happily sings to herself and is in a good mood when it’s over. My husband asked if 2 hours was ok and the pediatrician said no. Our child is almost 3 now and sometimes she fusses when we try to give her crib time, so we don’t force it those days.

Asking the parents to give you an hour break is not appropriate unless they somehow have easy flexible jobs that pay well enough for a nanny. Anyway I doubt they work from home since the OP is doing 10 hour days. Your best bet might be to ask for an 8 or 9 hour day and they can either find a babysitter to fill that gap or stagger their work hours so one parent gets home sooner. Most likely they’ll need to let you go. At age 3, the kid can go to preschool.

How much is the overtime rate you get those 10 extra hours a week? Is is worth to stay and exhaust yourself?

Except he’s clearly not in preschool, he is home with a nanny who is not getting the break she is legally required to receive during a 10 HOUR WORKDAY. And yes even in preschool, 3 year olds do nap.
