Docking her pay made me laugh a little, you seem to have very little nanny experience. If a family interviewed me and asked if I would take 1/2 pay when one child was napping I would walk out, glad you posted on here before bringing that up with her.

Having said that, you are overpaying in general. Find someone else with a lower rate.
