I am this pp - thinking too commuting for a 90 minute shift is not very attractive either. And the 4 hours in between are shorter if she has to drive from your job to another and back. All the more reason I would think some compromise on rate would be a good thing. If you are cutting her back say $400 a week (20 hours at $20 OT rate), somehow adding $100 of this to her pay, and you saving the $300, seems to make sense? You leave it open for her to say she cannot do the morning then, and having her pick up another morning gig instead?[/quote]

She's a live in and she's not commuting.

OP, there is nothing wrong with the job you are offering; the problem is that you have gotten your nanny used to making a lot more money by getting paid for hours that she is not actually working.  Taking these away is much more difficult than not offering them to begin with.

I would suggest you apologize, and recognize that changing the position is a hardship.  Then outline the new position, hours, pay and on call requirements, and give your current nanny the right of first refusal.  Tell her that you understand if she needs to move on, and that you will support her.  Then let her make a decision, and advertise for your new position if you have to.[/quote]

OP HERE. This is exactly what I planned to do. [/quote]
