Summer hours: I am a teacher and have a nanny year round. Do you think it is fair to ask nanny to do different hours during the year. (i.e. instead of 7:30-4:30 --- to do 10-7 or 11-8 if they are ok with it. Any thoughts? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm a teacher and my nanny works different and fewer hours in the summer. It's a higher hourly rate so she is cool with it [ Reply | More

what do you mean? higher rate? at night? We are gone for Aug. and giving her three weeks off. I think it is fair to say without abusing it, come a little later and stay a little later [ Reply | More

I would see if she would go for it. It makes sense for you, but might not for her if she has her own family. If you ever get a new nanny, I would make that one of the stipulations up front. [ Reply | More

oh- her children are grown. college and high school. She doesn't have a need to get home early. I thought it would be nice for her to come in later since she normally gets in so early. Maybe a fair cut off would be 10-7 or 11-7 and give her 1 less hour? She seemed ok with it but it looked like she wanted to say something. [ Reply | More

It is a reasonable request. But she may not be able to, especially if she has her own dc. [ Reply | More
