After that I charge a $100 flat-rate for the overnight portion, even if the kiddos wake up at some point. In the morning I make overtime for the extra hour before the kids wake up, then I'm back to my usual hourly rate.

So it looks something like this:

8 AM - 4 PM: I make $15 (my hourly rate)

4 PM - 9 PM: I make $22.50 (my overtime rate)

9 PM - 6 AM: Flat rate of $100

7 AM - 8 AM: Overtime rate of $22.50

8 AM - 4 PM: Hourly rate $15

ETC

MB here. This is what we did for our nanny who watched our oldest while I was in the hospital delivering #2. She didn't ask for it, but we paid this. It ended up being about $700 for 2.5 days on top of the regular weekly salary. Of course since the baby ended up arriving ahead of scheduled c-section, we ended up paying a larger portion toward OT on the Saturday we came home. Our daughter basically slept 10 hrs a night so that part was flat, but the rest outside of the 8 hr rate was OT.

I've never heard of this. Everyone I know pays 75 or 100 for overnight .

Is that what your friends are telling you?

Yes, because it's what they're paying. FYI - People who employ nannies don't lie and say they pay less than they do (since I'm sure, of course, that that's where you're going with this).

People who employ nannies don't lie? Which la-la land do you live in? We can't even get them to pay on the books.

I feel sorry for whoever gets duped into hiring you. You have such an awful perception of bosses, so bad, in fact, that you should change fields. You're also horribly, horribly bitter. I wouldn't want you anywhere near my children.

Both parents and non-parents have been known to lie plenty. Let's be honest here.
