[quote=nannydebsays]You need to talk with them and find out what their plan is to ensure that you can give the best possible care to their children. I would come up with several suggestions of times you could be "off" for 4/6/8 hours straight to sleep.

Also, make sure you can sleep when baby sleeps, if that is not allowed at home.

The only "law" governing 24 hour care is one that states an employee who is able to get 8 straight hours of uninterrupted sleep does not have to be compensated for those hours, but that will only apply if you actually GET 8 hours "off" to sleep.

And I am shocked this isn't covered in your contract, frankly. Usually families able to pay $35/hour have rock solid contracts where every single thing is covered.

And your employers must be very High Net Worth, if they are considering having you work a 24/7 shift, which according to your post above will cost them (35 x 8) + (52.5 x 4) + (70 x 12) for every full 24 hour day. That's $1330 a day, or $9310 for the week!

Check your contract.[/quote]
