[quote=Anonymous]In the past when we've been in this situation, I have paid for the extra hours as PP have said, as much as anything to keep a good working relationship with our nanny. Because we have a good relationship, our nanny has also volunteered to do things that I would not expect but really appreciate. For example, on one trip we were leaving and heading to the airport before her normal starting time. I had already told her that she had the day off since we had to leave for the airport before she would normally be at work, but she offered to come early to drive us to the airport (which meant at least a 2 hours of her time because she would need to use our car and then coming back to our house to pick hers up) and didn't expect us to pay extra. She could easily have just taken the whole day off and I really appreciated her help. I'm guessing that she really appreciated the PTO days that we were giving her that week and the next week while we were on vacation. When I was new to having a nanny it was a little frustrating realize that I would be paying extra for days over 8 hours on weeks when I was also giving one or more days PTO because we were away or had family in town, etc but I recognized that it was fair to the nanny. Now I'm glad that we have since we've had great long term relationships with our nannies and in general they have gone out of their way to make our lives easier.[/quote]
