[quote=Anonymous][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]

Ahhh, DCUM's go-to advice. Less work, more money. Wish the rest of the world worked the way DCUM seems to think it does![/quote]

Sorry, the poster you are quoting and a mb. I roll my eyes all the time at the trouble people have with blended and average rates, but this is one situation where it makes sense to consider the affect your average rate will have on the nanny. If you cut OT out of a job and give those hours to a new person, money will be saved. I'm just pointing out, if saving money is not the goal (as it is much of the time when OT hours are reduced) it will go a long way to not take advantage of that savings and give it to the nanny instead.
