[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I maxed ourselves out on paying the nanny, we gave every last penny we could afford because she is amazing. At $19 base rate were at our breaking point with this daily over time. I think we will just give it to her straight and understand if she declines to stay. If that should happen, we will have to hire someone else at a lower rate in order to afford the overtime. Thanks DCUMers.[/quote]

Wow, so you're going to ask your nanny to work for free or you're going to ask her to let you break the law and pay her base rate vs. OT for the extra time?

I actually don't condemn the second quite as much - I have a flexible schedule and offered my MB and DB 45 hours a week at base pay and anything over as OT (all paid on the books) because there are times when I work 30 hours one week and 45 the next and I felt fine about the trade off. But please, don't ask her to stay for free and please guarantee her hours by an extra half hour a day so you're at most 15 minutes late. [/quote]
