if every work day.

If her scheduled work day ends at 6PM, then no OT is required or should be expected.

Basically it evens out in your Nanny's favor that she is getting the last 1/3 hour for free....

Every couple of months I hand my nanny a $50 Walmart gift card (that's where she goes b/c it's closest to her apartment). It's just a "thank you" for the occasional crazier-than-usual day.

Heck no you don't need to pay overtime. The nanny's day ends at 6. You were home at 6. If you pay overtime because for once in a blue moon you got home right at quitting time, then she might start thinking that 5:40 must be her quitting time since you usually show up at that time. Then she will start wanting her palm to be greased every time you get home at 5:45.

I am a nanny.

You parents will take advantage of your nannies at every turn.

?? You were on time. Your said her day ends at 6 and you were home at six.
