[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiring a Personal Nanny is the most expensive form of childcare out there.

Bar none.

[b]The reasons why are that the family does not have to wake their child up early in order to drop them off somewhere else.
And if they are stuck in traffic on the way home, they don’t have to be penalized for being late[/b].

The child benefits by receiving personal, one-on-one attention + care.
They also get the luxury of napping in their own bed, eating their own food as well as playing w/their own toys. :)

The biggest benefit is that they are not exposed on a daily basis to unwanted germs.

I find paying the extra dollars is a great investment in your child.

So you’re the parent who doesn’t pay nanny when you’re late?! [/quote]

Being penalized is not the same as not paying.  And since some nannies are paid to be available, no they aren’t paid extra when the parent is late.[/quote]

NP here. Legally, nannies are hourly employees and must be paid for every minute they are working, which certainly includes the times that you are late. Equally important, we are paid to be available for our scheduled shifts, but at your beck and call!  Your attitude is insane. [/quote]

NP.  Relax.  We switched our nanny to a salary rather than hourly pay.  The salary was based on the hours she could possibly be needed (i.e. she gets paid even when the kids are in school in case they are sick, have a snow day, etc.).  The salary considers that many of those are overtime.  As a result, if we're 15 minutes late getting home during a week where the kids have been in school five days and she's therefore been paid for all of those hours, no, she doesn't get paid extra.  We track her hours to make sure she's never working more than what she's paid for, but she's definitely willing to be flexible when we're late since we pay her for so many hours that she's off.
