[quote=Anonymous][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]

According to the IRS, live-in nannies are paid hourly for every hour they are on except unless [b]all[/b] of the following conditions are met:
-nanny lives in 5+ days per week, 4+ nights per week
-nanny can sleep 8 hours
-nanny has a 5+ consecutive hour sleep period

If [b]any[/b] of the above are not met, the nanny must be paid for all hours.

If you're talking about a live-out nanny who will be staying in your home for a short time?  You are supposed to pay for every hour, so count yourself lucky that she is giving you a break.[/quote]
