[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a thought to bring to the discussion as well. If you hire a new PT nanny, you won't need to pay her OT. If the goal is purely to avoid burnout, and not save money, I'd consider offering your nanny an increase in hourly rate, so the extra OT gets worked back into her paycheck. At the very least, raise her base rate, so her average remains the same, but if you could go even further, I'm sure that would be appreciated.[/quote]

So, basically she should pay double for some of these hours so her nanny can have a nanny?

OP, you need to sit down with your nanny and ask her how she's feeling about the job. You also need to have specific examples of what you mean by "burnout," and you need to acknowledge that a cut in income would hurt her. But, you also are offering to make the job work for her without firing her, which would be the next step if she is burnt out.

If you do decide to go the part time route, I think you'll find it easier to find someone for the one full day than for just two hours each day.[/quote]
