[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you don't need to do overtime which is really absurd. It was meant to protect factory workers and such but nannies have a really cushy and easy job so it just complicates our lives instead.

What I do is use a nanny during the day with the baby while my older one is in school. Then when school lets out I have an after school nanny/sitter that picked him up and drives him home and relieves the daytime nanny. I pay for 30 minutes of overlap but like you said I'm not on the hook for $30 an hour in overtime. This is your best bet. Good luck fellow MB![/quote]

You should have hired a better nanny in the first place, PP.  Our son's nanny does not have a "cushy" job at all.  She is constantly on the move playing with him, teaching him, cooking for him, cleaning for him and doing his laundry.  She has more energy and imagination than I have ever had and she is 20 years older than I am!!!

I purposely hired an educated and experienced nanny and asked a lot of questions during the interview to make sure we were on the same page with expectations.  She was the only one who believed in engaging an infant in narration and reading so I hired her.  Nearly two years later and I am still happy with her work.

When I am home alone with my now toddler, the last thing that comes to mind is that this is "cushy"!

As for OP - if you truly cannot afford overtime, talk to your nanny and see if a compromise can be reached.
