I got an offer [b]50 hours a week [/b]and the new family suggested they pay me a flat rate ( [b]500$ weekly payment[/b]). They said this is good because if they don't need me I still get paid. Or if I'm late or need to leave early I still get paid too.  No laundry, cleaning, cooking etc.

I'm independent contractor and I prefer hourly rate. Meaning 40 hours x $12 my rate. 10 hrs is consider my overtime. As you all know nowadays parents always come back late so its not fair for me to get flat rate.

Note: I'm not in the expensive city (NY, SF, LA)

Any idea? thank in advance.

What do you want per week for 50 hours a week (MAX) of work? Counter with that.

Many nannies get a direct deposit of their guaranteed hours or their weekly salary. Many nannies work 45, 50, 55 hours a week at a salary.  You can back in to the regular rate or OT rate if that makes you feel better. If you don't want to work that many hours, take something else. If you'd rather work PT at a different rate, take something else. Leave this job for the nannies who want one stable job and a larger annual income (for commensurate work of 50+ hours a week).

Is your issue you want more money or what?[/quote]
