[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you being paid when you "rest" on the job?[/quote]what does that have to do with anything? Personally, I try to clean each mess add it happens because I'm lazy and would rather not clean up a hurricane all at once and also u try to leave the house so if the parents came home at any point during the day it wouldn't be a disaster zone that needed to be dealt with before I leave. You'll just have to be direct and ask them what they specifically prefer. My guess is as long as they come home to a tidy house they're not going to care of it's trashed at 2 pm. [/quote]

Well you asked how we would feel and I personally would be pretty pissed to come home and find my nanny being paid $25/hr and napping. Everyone else can make it through a whole work day without taking a nap so I expect my nanny to also. Babies nap time is not your nap time.[/quote]

OP here.

First of all, the person who you quoted and responded to was not me (which seems pretty clear to me if you actually read what she wrote).

Second, I don't nap. I sit on the couch, check my emails, maybe read a chapter of my book, and just breathe. Not nap.

Third, I'm not getting paid anywhere near $25/hr, not even a little bit close. Considering my education (ECE degree), extensive experience, impeccable references, etc, frankly I'm rather underpaid. But, I really like working with this family (they are very considerate of my time, their daughter is awesome, they offer generous small gifts frequently like $20 Starbucks gift cards here and there, guaranteed hours, sick, vacation pay, etc, etc), so I haven't felt the need to find a different family for a few dollars extra per hour.

Yes, most people do not nap in a work day, and neither do I. But most people who work a 9-10 hour day get a paid break, and so do I.[/quote]
