1. It's wrong of her to do this.
2. It's wrong that you let it slide the first time. Create an invoice for hours worked at your overtime rate and have a conversion with her. It's not okay to not pay an employee for hours worked.

She doesn't pay me for the overtime work. I get my usual pay as normal but the overtime pay is left out.

You need to demand your overtime pay, Nanny. Instead of relying on the MB, have an invoice ready with the dates and hours worked and give it to her before your next pay period.

And I have to reiterate the above posters question - the MB didn't pay you at all or overtime work or didn't pay you time and a half?

Are you not getting paid at all or not getting paid at the OT rate? One is more forgivable than the other (though both are wrong.) I'd be lenient too because of the snow days but you don't want it to become a bigger problem.

You need to stop allowing this. It's completely unacceptable.

I know it can be hard to speak up, but the first time is the hardest - after that it will get easier.

Just ask to talk w/ your MB. Add up all of the hours you have worked (for whatever period of time this has been an issue) for which you have not been paid. Do the math of what that cost is. Then, if you want, you can say that you weren't wanting to press because of all the snow days etc... but that it isn't possible for you to continue working this amount of overtime without payment.

Then let her respond.

I'm an MB. I would never treat my nanny this way - it's completely unfair and illegal. If anything got to the point where she had to speak to me about it I would be mortified. I greatly value flexibility from our nanny when we need it, but I pay her appropriately, give her plenty of notice, and thank her profusely. Your employer should be ashamed of herself.

But you do need to address it. You, and the MB, are grown-ups. You are a professional, and you are entitled to payment for your time and services.

Pretend you're advocating for your best friend or sister if that helps give you some courage, but go stick up for yourself!

Good luck.

About being a nanny is standing up for yourself and staying firm. I easily pull eight hours over time a week and MB hasn't paid me for this time all winter. I've been pretty lenient about it because I get snow days when the kids do. Now that spring is coming, I am fearful that the nonpayment of overtime will continue. Suggestions?

I know this is mostly my fault, but I really try to be a flexible nanny because I know that's what a lot of families need fr their nanny.
