This law was put into place to protect employees who worked at differential rates from this very thing - losing out on OT, because the employer cherry picked which rate to calculate OT on.
With a $15/hr one child rate the nanny is owed $898.80, it’s up to the parents how to divide it up. ( and yes, it’s a tribal difference with these numbers - low OT amounts and a close rate, but that’s how it’s legally done)
Nanny here. I don’t know any nannies who agree to blended rates. They work out in the nanny’s favor occasionally (less than 5 hours OT), but then the parents want to use the blended rate all the time and use more than the number of hours used to calculate that rate, which means that the nanny makes less... Nope, not good.
