[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not really sure why all the nanny PPs are jumping all over you.  We have a long-term professional nanny whom we occasionally use for overnights and weekends.  She has asked to have her husband come hang out with her after our kids go to bed, and we refused.  Nothing personal- we have met him and like him- but I am paying my nanny to work, not to socialize.

Re: the overnight payment- when our nanny stays over, we lay her her full overtime rate until our kids go to bed, and then a flat overnight fee of $100.  I have never heard of a nanny getting their full overtime rate for each hour that she "works" overnight (while she is sleeping)- that would be quite odd, and for us, cost prohibitive.[/quote]

You are cheap.  federal law mandates that ALL domestic employees are paid OT after 40 hours.  Unless she 's, leave the house, get drunk or socialize, the, she should be paid OT.  Who gives a damn if it is cost prohibitive for you.  She was entitled to OT and she should have turned the gig down.[/quote]
