[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks again for the responses. We just moved from NY where a 24hr/ or 5 day live in (2 day live out) was very was very common. The pay rate there was 200-500 a day. So I thought 300+ was being very generous especially in this area that is not as expensive as NY. I think if I gave a flat rate for the overnights, I would have to do that off the books, correct? Because on payroll it wouldn't match up with hourly pay and base rate.

My partner and I have overlapping working schedules, and I have a sleeping condition what makes it necessary or convenient to have someone else here.

I'm not paying a horrible wage- it's one child, who is sleeping for 15hrs (with naps) of a 24hr period. If I raised the salary to $85,000- would this be more appealing?[/quote]

I think with regard to the legalities, you'd have to technically structure the contract and taxes so that it was an equal rate over all the hours (with overtime as needed).

I would advertise it with your weekly rate and weekly hourly requirements to make it clear to the nanny what the pay/hours are. So rather than saying "$16/hr for awake hours, $75 flat fee for 8 sleeping hours, overtime as necessary." I would say "$X/Week for 120 hours/week" It just makes it very clear what the pay and expectations are. [/quote]
