[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB and have a part-time nanny. She gets full benefits, same as a FT nanny, but at a lower pay-out rate, of course, because her weekly pay is less.  The fact your nanny brings her child should factor into her pay rate, not her benefits UNLESS you are paying her the going rate without her child taken into account.  Then, I think you can make the argument that bringing her child is her perk and not pay benefits. Having said that, I think the first way, i.e., discounted pay with full benefits, makes more sense.  Also, I don't understand why your nanny is there for seven hours but you're taking care of your LO for three of those hours?  What does she do during that time?[/quote]

+1. During periods when we were PT, we just pro-rated the benefits, vacation, sick, holidays, etc. Also agree that bringing her child should affect pay rate rather than benefits--basically, it's a share, except you are sharing with the nanny. If you're paying more than the local share rate, you can establish that you're doing that in lieu of benefits, but I'd just be transparent about it. You count the hours the same whether you are actively caring for your child during that time or not, if you've asked her to be there, just as you would if your child were napping. (Same question as PP, though--is there a reason you have her there during the hours you're home with your LO?) Whatever you decide to do, put it into writing so that you're both on the same page.[/quote]
