[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I paid overtime rates (presuming that we were asking for hours beyond the contracted amount for the week) for all hours the kids were awake and $75 for the overnights.

It was crazy expensive (but worth it) the few times we did it.[/quote]

Oh, also - we always tried to give a paid day off to the nanny right afterwards. I didn't think it was reasonable to work a 10 day stretch w/o a break.[/quote]

She is still working even if the kids are asleep.  She's not working 10 hours, she's working 24/7 plus she's away from home.[/quote]

Yes, but her job duties have materially changed during hours when the kids are asleep, and especially when she is asleep.  [/quote]

The job duties are not relevant.  She's still on call an don't at home so $10 an hour or less is terrible.[/quote]

Getting paid $10/hour to sleep? OH the horror!! [/quote]

She is not sleeping in her home and she is working.  How do you not get that.  Stop being cheap or care for your own kids.[/quote]

How do you not get that a job that allows you to sleep is hardly work and plenty of people accept an overnight fee under such circumstances?

Stop being a communist and telling people what they should do with their money.[/quote]

If you can afford to travel you can afford to pay your babysitter or nanny well.  It's really crummy to pay less than minimum wage when they are working and away from home.  [/quote]

Perhaps then she can do stuff in the house instead of sleep.[/quote]
