[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why do parents on this board try to perpetuate this nonsense that nannies aren't smart enough to know that if she would normally be paid $15/hour for a particular job, there is no reason for that to change because someone needs overtime. When I interview,[b] I do qoute a weekly rate[/b] but there is a certain hourly rate that I will not go below. Why would any good nanny with decent math skills accept a job with you for 60 hrs/wk "at a lower hourly rate to offset your OT pay" that pays me similarly to a job working 40 hrs/wk?[/quote] If your weekly rate matches the family's budget, why would you care about the distribution? If you live in DC, you know that most nanny FT nanny positions are 50hrs/week. Fixing the rate to accommodate the OT to keep childcare within a budget is very common and there isn't anything unfair about it if you have guaranteed hours in your contract.[/quote]
