[quote=Anonymous]OP here - Actually, you are wrong. Unless you can post a link that says live-in full time employees are paid per hour, I wouldn’t create confusion here for other people reading this thread.

Also, I have to ask : what is a right per hour salary? From what I have seen, hourly rates vary nanny to nanny. I am certain she is earning more with my fixed rate than if we were to pay her for every hour worked.

I have met with part timers who have set rates from anywhere between 15,16,19,20,25,26 and 35 per hour! In my 8 years of hiring ONLY live-in candidates, I have NEVER met a nanny who asked for an hourly rate for a live-in role. I have never met an agency who supplied live-ins to me per hour. My nannies always negotiated an attractive lump sum to cover their bases for hours worked or not, and then they are responsible for anything which may come up and -“are available. I am a parent who will pay well for someone who can offer me that flexibility because I work, don’t have a husband and am away from my native country and my family. Our contract covers a few nights of babysitting. I have a housekeeper who also works full time and between them they are professional and get their work done like a team.

My original post asked for help on deciding on additional public holidays, and whether she is being compensated fairly at THOSE times . I care about her and am asking for opinions on one area. Please don’t twist it into something this is not. It will only be an issue in your head because for some reason you are the sort of poster who reads a thread and assumes the worst about people.
