[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:36 again. I didn't explicitly state this, but thought I should add: yes, if you're talking about over 40 hours than legally overtime must be paid. And if you calculate that nanny is there for 48 hours at $1000 it comes out a regular rate of over $19/hr (19x40=760 + OT rate of $28.50 x 8 hours = $988 total).

So, again, it depends on nannies duties and how many children (and their ages, and if they are differently abled, etc), but $19/hr is a bit on the high end for the care of 1-2 non-infant non-special-needs kids.

AND, there is the fact that when most parents hire an overnight sitter, they generally arrange for a slightly lower rate during the hours the kids will be sleeping, or a slightly lower overall rate given that the nanny herself will also be sleeping on the job. Again, assuming there is not a special needs or infant child who is likely to be up at night, if the kids can be expected to sleep 11 hours each night (approx 8pm-7am?), and even if they don't nap, then the kids will be asleep for about 22 hours out of the 48 that nanny will be there, which is pretty high.

Anyway, again, I think $800 is fair, but $1000 might be better if you have an infant, special needs kids, expect additional chores, or want a highly qualified and experienced nanny.[/quote]

OMG you weirdos and your constant overtime whining. [/quote]
