[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been a nanny a long time.  If the parents already hire other babysitters at a lower rate, but I want to have the opportunity to get those extra hours,  I would ask them to tell me what they pay the babysitters and what the job entails.  By that I mean, the part where you get them all ready for bed, etc., and that you don't expect all the normal nanny duties that I would do during the day.  Then I would decide whether I want the gig at that rate.  I don't think you are obligated to pay me my day nanny rate unless you want me to do the same things I do during the day.    [/quote]
And I would appreciate your flexibility, but the fact of the matter is that IRS disagrees with you that this shouldn't be charged at overtime rates.  It's unfortunately not up to you (I wish it was!) This area has enough people whose record on domestic employment has to be squeaky clean, so it may be not worth it to your employer.   If IRS comes after the employer with "why didn't you pay overtime?", they aren't going to care that "my nanny said we don't have to."[/quote]
