[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. All this is really helpful. Regardless of our rate, we would offer sick days and PTO included. There would be unscheduled days off when we have family in town and we wouldn't need nanny coverage too. That happens at least 3 weeks a year. Additionally, we leave for 2-3 weeks a year that would be additional time off for the nanny--so she'd get around 5-6 wks off in addition to her own time off. We would offer PTO of two weeks on top of that as well as sick leave. I'm not sure what others do, but that would just be assumed in our case. [b]We also don't consistently need a nanny at 50 hrs/wk so maybe we should consider pulling back the initial offer to 45 hrs/wk and paying extra for the times we're late. [/b]

Really appreciate the advice on overtime. We currently just handle that through our payroll agency so it's above board but we just didn't describe it that way to our nanny. I'll include the OT on the next contract.  [/quote]

As a nanny, my preference would be to not be notified last minute that I would be late leaving. I think many parents don't build in a little extra time at the end of the day that will cover "late" returns home, and nannies tend to have things to do and places to be after work.

If it's financially possible, build in a little extra time at the end of the day. Letting nanny go "early" (by 30 minutes or less) is better than asking nanny to stay late.
