[quote=Anonymous]Start looking for a new job. I can't imagine why on earth an agency would tell you to NOT ask to be paid the overtime you deserve.  We take our nanny on vacation sometimes and pay for however many hours are worked.

Look up what the law is in your state, print it out, and tell the parents you'd like to meet with them. Hand them the print-out and say something like, "This was recently brought to my attention - that I'm supposed to be paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 in a week (or whatever the law in your state says) and looking over my past hours, specifically when I've gone on vacations with you, that hasn't happened."

Now OP, it's up to you what you do next. If you want to say that going forward they must pay you and you'll let the past go, you can. Or you can demand payment for past vacations (but have those figures worked out so you can hand them a sheet of paper so they can see how many hours you worked, how much you earned vs how much they paid you. Or, you can still give them that sheet, and offer that since it was an oversight on both your parts, you would be content to receive half of what they owe you and going forward they will of course, obviously comply with the laws regarding overtime payment.

But I'd start looking for a new job in case this talk doesn't go well. [/quote]
