Overnight money

[Anonymous]

Our PT nanny is staying overnight. My kids sleep very well and aren't babies who need to be fed overnight. Is it resasonable to ask my nanny if I can give her a lower hourly pay for the overnight hours while they sleep? And if so what does that look like? Her usual is 25/hour

The standard is regular hourly pay for awake hours plus a flat $100 fee for overnight hours.

Wow.

$50 for overnight is not very much.

Are you all right with her leaving the house for a few hours or continues her there the entire time? If, the entire time. Then you pay $25/,hr and consider yourself lucky because she should be charging double time at $50/hr.

The standard rate is whatever the nanny charged and only a fool would agree to $100 for 8 hours.

I charge my regular rate ($28) for all hours on-duty.

I hope you charge 1.5 for all hours over 40. Don't cheat yourself!

I paid overtime rates (presuming that we were asking for hours beyond the contracted amount for the week) for all hours the kids were awake and $75 for the overnights.

It was crazy expensive (but worth it) the few times we did it.

Oh, also - we always tried to give a paid day off to the nanny right afterwards. I didn't think it was reasonable to work a 10 day stretch w/o a break.

But she is charging hourly until 11pm. Are the kids up then?
