[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to pay her, at a minimum every day from when your child wakes, until they go to bed. For a live-in employee, I believe you can legally deduct 8 hours of sleeping time IF she will get to sleep. If you are leaving a baby or toddler that may need her in the night, you'll need to pay for night time as well. You sound like a generous employer, so I'm surprised that you think its okay to not pay her for the extra evening hours. The rest of her benefits (meals, leave, bonus) have nothing to do with your obligation to pay her for the extra hours she will work. [/quote]
OP is here- because I think we are already giving her a nice pay package (and I am sure some of the people here jump at me bcs i said that), I don't think we should pay extra for nights. Alos, he might or might not need her during the night. She takes care of every third night if he wakes up, but that is so really so she hardly does anything at night anyway, besides may be being awaken for a few minutes if he cries without getting of the bed. Only if he cries 10-15 minutes and it's not clear from the monitor, that he is ok, she should go and check on him. Ok, I got that extra benefits don't count. I guess we get used to good things too fast :)  thank you[/quote]

I have a great job with very generous employers but I'm still not going to agree to care for a child 24/7 for a week without being paid for those hours. I cannot believe you think this is acceptable. Would you want to spend a week straight with no break at your job for an extra $100?[/quote]
