[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may have responded to this thread last year and my feelings are the same.  When you are a highly paid nanny, you do not jack up your rates on your employers for NYE.  It is just wrong.

[/quote] Don't be a sucker.  This is also the time of year your bosses get their $20,000-$200,000 bonuses.  They can afford to pay you $500 for the night, trust me.[/quote]

My employers can afford to pay me much more than that - they are quite wealthy.  It just doesn’t right.  [/quote]
It seems to me you should do it for free in your unusual situation, just as a small token of appreciation. -DP[/quote]

You think it is unusual for wealthy people to have nannies?!  Wealthy parents all have nannies!

NP here and I work for an extremely wealthy and high profile family (along with three other nannies) and our hourly rates are set in contract negotiation.  There are no special rates for NYE.  [/quote]

Same in my nanny position.  This would never be tolerated.  My rates are set by my agency at contract negotiation.  [/quote]
FYI, it's illegal for the agency to determine your rates, unless the agency is your employer (not the parents). Who pays you? The agency or the parents?[/quote]

I set my rates and the agency sends me out only to employers willing to pay them.  I would not, and legally could not, change my rate for NYE.  [/quote]

My agency lets parents know that holidays have holiday rates.[/quote]

That is surprising.  What agency are you with? [/quote]

+2. What agency?  [/quote]

PP made it up.  There is no agency that would help you negotiate a separate NYE rate!!  Holidays are time and a half and sometimes double time.  [/quote]
Hence the separate holiday rate. Duh.[/quote]
