Some nannies earn $150. for night duty. That's still a bargain.

For sleeping hours, you should charge $50-$100 a night. You should earn your usual rate for all awake hours and OT if it applies, 19:36.

To all those trying to derail the thread and talking about exploitation; a much better way to respond to this thread would have been to tell me what you think a reasonable overnight rate WOULD be. Not to just say that others are being cheap. The only reason I am asking this question in the first place is that I worry enormously about doing the right thing by our nanny (who you will see from the OP was willing to accept $50 overnight which I did not think was anywhere near enough).
What did your nanny tell you what she wanted to be paid?

Obviously your Nanny is NEW and doesn't know better to charge less than time and a half, I think if you value her like the way you're saying then u should pay her time and a half BECAUSE let's be real, u WON'T leave your kids ALONE at night so PAY her for her time & service.
You should probably lay off the wine at lunch, sweetie.

Seems perfectly reasonable if it works well for all.

Since when do DCUM threads not get derailed? It's very much the norm if you look around. And not just the nanny forum.

Additionally, there isn't much a so called $20/hr nanny offers a parent than a $14/hr nanny can't that is of measurable worth, which is another reason market rates vary more by geography than anything else. Sure, some parents value some things, like ECE credits or experience, but there is no objective measure that shows that having that experience makes a nanny worth more per hour.
Would you say that in general you believe that educated, experienced parents are better equipped to raise children? You'd probably want to avoid sweeping categorizations, but you'd acknowledge at least that higher education correlates with parents who expose their children to a wider and more sophisticated vocabulary, spend more time researching information related to their development and well-being, and are informed enough on a variety of topics to correctly answer questions like, "why are leaves green?" and "is Pluto a planet?" These would be just three of the potential benefits of an educated and experienced nanny, helping to explain why she costs a little bit more.
Bad analogy. Nannies are not parents.
That all depends on how you define parents. Same biological genes or the person who best knows the child. Lol.
This is just stupid. The law defines what it means to be a parent. Neither "same biological genes" nor knowing the child best are necessary elements.
