[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have always paid:

- hourly rate for any awake hours. If it was a weekend overnight, following a full work week, then the hourly rate was the overtime rate.
- flat fee for overnight itself (assuming everyone sleeps through the night.) That was always either $75 or $100.
- half or full day off (paid) if the overnight meant the nanny was working nonstop for a long stretch of days.

Also, while not compensation per se, we also always stocked our fridge w/ favorite foods or gave the nanny extra money for take-out if the kids stayed w/ her.

Once we had our nanny stay with the kids for a week while we travelled and we had a different fee structure for that because it was so long, but we started w/ the approach above as a starting point.[/quote]

Yeah no.  If you have a live-in, there's no overtime (unless you're in Maryland), but if it's a live-out nanny, you're looking at major overtime.

When I do a week, but I don't live-in, here's my rate for children who ALWAYS sleep through the night:

16 hours per day at the normal rate ($20-30, based on age, number and special needs) plus $100 for 8 hours overnight.  For 7 days, that's $2300-3100.[/quote]
