[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and our nanny accepted the longer hours 7:30-7 pm. We will be paying her until 7.

Wow, and she gets 17.5 hours at 150% of her hourly rate but only has to work until 7 PM a couple of days a week?  Sounds like a great deal for the nanny who didn't want to be on call because she had things to do in the evening!  Will she get paid for 57.5 hours for the vacation weeks too? [/quote]

Op here and well, [b]my husband are definitely going to take advantage of this now. [/b]We’re glad she accepted. And yes will definitely pay her the vacation. It is what it is. [/quote]
Really?  Personally, I'd use the extra time if I needed for work, but I'd rather not stay out later just because I can--I would prefer to spend time with my kids.

You need to pay the nanny because you expect her to be available with little notice--which means that she's giving up that time for you.  If you were willing to let her say no when she couldn't work late, then you wouldn't need to pay her.  [/quote]

PSA: everyone needs to calm down and stop telling OP that she should spend time with her kids. It’s her time and she’ll do with it as she pleases [/quote]

I am perfectly calm, PP, and I am telling OP that she is making a mistake in staying away from her kids until 7PM just because she is paying the nanny until 7PM.  That is terrible for the children.  Do her children really mean so little to OP that after 10 - 11 daytime hours away from them, five days a week, she would stay away from them just to get her money's worth out of the nanny?!
