[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 kids in daycare but are considering moving to a nanny for convenience reasons. We would definitely need someone for at least 50 hours/week. I would like to pay a slightly over-market salary in exchange for not having to worry about tracking hours and figuring out overtime, and we would commit to not exceeding a certain number of hours per week, say, 60. We are not trying to cheap out here, quite the contrary. I am interested in paying more to not have to nickel and dime individual hours. Assuming I can get the numbers right to make this appealing for a nanny, do you think one would go for it? I've never heard of it being done this way, but I would think a nanny might appreciate this too. After all, there will be weeks when we're below 50-60 hrs and we would pay vacation of course.

I am a salaried nanny and have zero complaints about it. I'm making good money, have decent benefits and work 53 hours per week. The parents, however, never alter my schedule. If they get home early - I still stay until 5:30, and they've only been 5-10 minutes late maybe 2 or 3 times in the year. They have only ever dismissed me to leave early once, on Christmas Eve. I don't bitch it though because these are my hours. I get paid regardless so I should be here. It's nice having the exact same amount of money deposited into my account every other Friday. [/quote]
