How do I pay my nanny this summer since she will be staying out at our summer place (1 hour away) from Mon-Fri? Do we need to pay hourly overnight? I would think not since my two kids sleep through the night and we'll be home in the evenings and early AM to take care of the kids. Then again, we are taking her away from home. Then again, she will be relieved of her regular 1 1/2 hour commute in from Queens. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Did you ask her? Does she have family? If no family, I'd say 150% of her regular pay and all meals. But, what do I know, I don't have a summer place. [ Reply | More

I offered her exactly that. She told me other nannies told her they were receiving a per hour overtime rate for all hours of the night. I think that's over the top. She is 23 yrs old and has a boyfriend in Queens, but she did not seem very bothered that she would be away during the week for 8 weeks. She needs the extra money and she will also be able to go home for a night or two sometimes. [ Reply | More

I think what you are offering is more than fair. Everyone I know who has help at their summer house pays a flat weekly rate similar to a NYC weekly rate. It sounds like you are already offering more. If it was a one week thing I could see what she is saying but for the whole summer, that's crazy expensive. [ Reply | More
