[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here, and first off can I say that you sound like an amazing employer!

Yes, I've definitely spent the night at my employers.  I'm not a live-in and I live about 15 miles away from their house, and with traffic it takes me about 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back.  It's a normal requirement that sometimes nannies stay the night, especially younger nannies without families.

I think the pay rate for the night ($150) is actually really on the high end.   Maybe 60 to 80 dollars for the night, what time would this start?  If the hourly rate ends at 8, then yes, 60 to 80 sounds good.  I honestly think $150 is very high, maybe I'm wrong, definitely hoping for some other nanny/parent opinions.

As far as the sleeping arrangements, sleeping in the parents bed (clean or not) is a bit odd for me.  I had a past employee who co-slept, and really the only option was for me to sleep in their mastered with their toddler and infant, it was weird for me, but may not be for your nanny.  All you can do is suggest it, I doubt it will offend her and she can make a choice between a bed, the couch, or air mattress.

Also, again, you sound amazing!  Very lucky nanny you have![/quote]
