[quote=Anonymous]We have a live in nanny who helps to care for our 3 kids. Our eldest is in elementary and the other two are in pre school. This year we put the younger two in pre school from 9-3. Nanny helps with getting them ready and taking them to school between 7 and 9.30 am after which there's not much else to do until pick up. She putters around the house straightening up etc but there's only so much straightening up when the house is essentially empty from 8:30 to 3 :30 every day. She has started going for a run or about an hour after she returns from dropping the kids off. She leaves the house at 2:30 to pick the kids up from preschool and works thereafter until around 8 pm. We need her until 8 mainly because I take my son for his after school activities which mostly end around 7 o'clock.  She currently bills us for 13 hours a day. We pay 150% of her rate after 40 hours a week. We are more or less happy otherwise happy with her work.

We are considering asking her to split her hours working from 7-9:30 and then from 1:30- 8? Is this legal? I have heard that as long as the break is longer than 3 hours it is legal but I am not sure.

Thank you
