[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she still gets through all the jobs you ask her to do in the week then I think that is fine. If she's doing her cooking instead of the work she's been given, it's not. At least she won't feed your kid crap when it's older because she knows how to cook from scratch and values it enough to bother to do it for herself. Being a nanny isn't like being a lawyer - you're there to do a job not bill hours (I'm a lawyer - still hate billing hours after years!)[/quote]

Actually since nannies by law must be non-exempt hourly employees they are there to bill hours. So why would it be accceptable ( aside from reasonable  break let’s say 1 hr) for the nanny to do her cooking at work and “ bill” the family for that time? [/quote]

Apparently it's common practice for nannies of school age children to bill for sitting around, watching TV, surfing the net or lying in bed, according to the nannies here (so they are "available in case of a sick child or school closure).  [/quote]

As do any other on-call professionals.  That's on call, ie. not time actually with the child.[/quote]
