[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the nanny cannot leave - she is working.  When you work you get your hourly wage plus overtime.

This crap with the "overnight wage" has to stop!  I am not in my own bed, I am not taking care of my own family and I cannot leave your child - how is that NOT WORKING?

+1  Nannies need to say no to this nonsense.  My sister is a nurse and on nights she has to sleep in the hospital she is paid full wages - no one discounts her salary because she is sleeping.  She is on call if there is an emergency - just like any nanny.  [/quote]

This is off topic but I think if a nurse works nights ideally she sleeps in the day time as a result. She doesn't sleep at the hospital. You wouldn't sleep at work of you had regular hours. [/quote]

Nope, my sister has to sleep in the hospital once or twice a month and works 24 hours.  So do the residents.  [/quote]

Yes, and as a physician who has had to "sleep" in the hospital I have never been paid extra for it.  And I put sleep in quotes because if I was on call and sleeping at the hospital I rarely actually slept.[/quote]

No one is asking to be paid extra for sleeping, Dr.!  The point is you are being paid when you have to be at the hospital whether you are sleeping or not.  [/quote]
