[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny will be sitting for our toddler solo for 6 hours each day (morning to mid afternoon) and then, when school gets out, she will sit for our child and a school-aged child until we get home from work (6:00 or so).
For the first 6 hours, she will receive her one-child rate from us.
For the shared time in the afternoon, she would get the two-child rate (slightly lower) from us (and, of course, a coordinating two-child hourly rate from the other family).
The total hours in the day will exceed 8 hours and the total hours for the week will exceed 40. So, she should be paid at time and a half for her overtime hours.
But which rate do we use? 
There is a view that says, well, the overtime 'happens' at the end of the day, so it would be time and half on the lower two-child rate.
But I am not sure that is right.  
Then again, I tend to be my own worst enemy with these things and end up paying more than I later learned I should have in many instances.
We definitely want to pay the fair amount to her.  I'd welcome thoughts on which rate people think is appropriate.
Thanks!
