[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pay her overtime rates for any waking/working time, and a flat rate of $75-100 for the overnight/sleeping time. That's a pretty standard approach and should be fine. Maybe you err on the high side as this will likely be last minute/unpredictable.[/quote] Given that labor is almost always unexpected, you need to allow the nanny to bring a small bag, enough for two nights (in case there are complications, your family will want to be at the hospital, not at home with your toddler). Overtime for all hours minus 8 (normal sleep hours), plus a flat fee for overnight. You pay $700 for 50 hours per week, which is $12.73/hour, and the normal schedule is 8-6pm. So 6-10pm and 6-8am at $19.09, plus a flat fee of $100=$214.55 Frankly, that's a bargain, but it's based on the bargain rate you pay your nanny. She may not be willing to do the overnight. Have you considered what the situation will be if you go into labor on the weekend?[/quote]
