[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]So unless she moves, she can't have a LI nanny. That means she'll need to pay more to have someone "on-call" for nights and weekends, IMO.

She's likely going to need 2 main nannies working 3.5 days on/off and a list of sitters to call if the nannies take time off for any reason.

I'd only take a job like this if I were paid for all the hours I was expected to work or be on call. So 84 hours, with OT, at about $22/hour...$2332/week per nanny to guarantee availability 24/7.

That's about 300K a year.

Just DAMN![/quote]
I'm not following the 84 hour availability per nanny. If each nanny works 3.5 days- that's right about 40 hours. And not tons of overtime. Her work place has backup kiddo care- so we are assuming that would be the first line of defense if a nanny is sick/can't cover.

She's looking at paying 25-30 an hour.  By our estimates it would be about 130K a year, once we are out of the newborn phase. 
It's a lot- no doubt. [/quote]

Most 24 hour jobs pay either a daily rate or a salary, so it's not quite as expensive as NannyDeb is quoting. It's very rare that you see a 24 hour job (outside of newborn care) quoted as hourly.  Obviously then you break down the rate into an hourly and OT rate so that everything is legal.  I've worked more than one 24 hour position and made just over 100K working 3 days one week and then 4 days the next, so basically 3.5 a week. The problem she will run into is not having a bedroom for the nanny to sleep over in when said nanny is doing either really long hours or working 24 hour shifts.  [/quote]
