[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. Yes I charge my hourly rate until 9pm then $100 for overnight until 7am .[/quote]

You Re cheating yourself.  Unless you can leave the house, you should be paid your hourly rate plus OT as applicable.  $100 for sleeping hours isn't even minimum wage.[/quote]

NP.  I can see both sides.  I used to travel for work and no, I didn't get paid for the time I slept in a hotel.  And in my case, I had to secure child / pet care back home, and none of that was compensated (or even acknowledged!).  I was paid hourly, not salaried (independent contractor), so somewhat like a nanny.

But I guess on the other hand, because the nanny has to be "on call" if a child wakes up and needs comfort at night, which I didn't in my own job, it does seem like she should be getting something.

What about splitting the difference - nanny gets some agreed upon wage for the sleeping hours, BUT if the kid wakes up (say nanny is actually on duty from 2 - 3 AM with crying kid), she gets her hourly rate for that hour (or even higher, since as a mom I know how much those middle of the night duties suck!).[/quote]
