[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, no - I disagree.  Your sitter is working overnight and should be paid her hourly rate - you have no idea if she is going to be sleeping or not.  This "flat rate" for overnights is ridiculous and I have never heard of it before.  As a PP said, "If she cannot leave - she is working."  [/quote]

I'm in San Francisco and I've never heard of this discounted flat rate for overnight either - must be a DC thing.  It's insane and might be illegal (certainly at 3.75 an hour!).  [/quote]
I'm in DC and I agree with you. Maybe some of the immigrant nannies don't understand American laws, so employers take advantage of them.[/quote]

LA Nanny here and I've never heard of a flat overnight rate either.  You get paid for the hours you are responsible for the kids - and you are responsible for them all night so it is at your usual rate whether you are sleeping or not.  Apparently, from the amount of posters quoting rates however, they do do it in DC.  Its wrong.  And at $3.75 an hour it IS CRIMINAL.  [/quote]
