I hope you’re giving her the standard 5/hr increase when she has the added responsibility of your baby. Maintaining continuity of care for your first child is critical.

Congratulations on the upcoming birth your second child.


Why do people congratulate about pregnancy and giving birth? I have never understood this. Neither is an accomplishment considering that this happens millions of time every day,!



Wow. You are so cold. As a nanny a love congratulations my employers; mainly the mom, when they are expecting their next child. Because even I am not a mom, I think yes, it's something that happens to millions of people anyway, but it gives you the Parents so much Happiness, and that Happiness it's a blessing, and I am very happy for them. But maybe you will never understand, it's just a point of view.


Exactly. A child is a gift. More and more couples who want to have a baby just can’t. It’s heartbreaking for them.

I sure wish this miserable excuse for a person…..and even more so for a Nanny would find a better hobby than to come on this forum & say mean things.

He/she gets off on insulting others it appears.

Kudos to all of you that ignore this loser and keep scrolling down.

I need to follow your lead.
Lol.

This person may have just unknowingly showed why he/she is so bitter & angry.
Perhaps they have never ever had the joy of having a child of their own thus the mean attitude shown on this thread.

It scares me that any parent is entrusting this rat to stay alone w/their precious child.
I wouldn’t leave them alone w/my pet goldfish…..


I am neither angry or bitter. Also, I am not a nanny. I think getting pregnant and giving birth is not an achievement. Graduating summa is an achievement. Writing a book is an achievement. Having a baby is not remarkable in any way.


What does this have to do with OP’s question? Find another thread to troll.

Staying overnight is an inconvenience for the nanny and a convenience for you. Over 8 hours you should pay OT. If she has already eoy 40 hours then all time is OT.

Hourly rate until 10pm or the Nanny goes to bed. Hourly rate again at 6am unless kid wakes up before that..Flat rate for the sleeping portion. The flat rate seems to be all over the place. Anywhere from $75-$150.

are you a jehovah witness? The reason they don’t celebrate birthdays is because it’s not “ an accomplishment “

Precious child/children that you choose not to stay home and delegate your parental duties and obligations to a paid caregiver!

We are expecting baby #2 and our nanny mentioned that in the past she has sometimes stayed overnight when parents are at the hospital. This would be our preference as our child is most comfortable with our nanny.

In this instance, do we agree on a nightly rate, some type of flat fee, or do we pay her hourly at her overtime rate?

Thanks!


Why don't you discuss this with her?

Most people do regular rate (with applicable OT) for awake hours plus a flat $100-150 per night for the hours the child is sleeping.

If she's done it in the past, she most likely has a preference.

For me, it depends on if the kid(s) sleep through the night. If they sleep through the night? Normal pay for waking hours, flat fee from 10/11pm until 6/7am.

If they don't sleep through the night: hourly rate the entire time if they wake up.
