So, I've been helping out my best friend with her 13 month old, (officially as a nanny) while she's been transitioning from breaking up with her son's father, and living in a new place with a roomate, and starting to work again. At first, I of course wanted to help her out with the difficult time, and as she's my best friend, I consider her son my nephew. She found out she is pregnant again with her new(ish) boyfriend and she is planning on moving in with him before the new baby comes. Right now, due to finances, I"ve been quite lenient with her payment, since i didn't feel right taking money from her, but her EX has been paying me, at a rate she used to be paid to watch her friend's 8 month old, which was 35/day. We used that sum, not knowing any better, to pay me. Now she has a job and I am working REALLY long hours, due to her work schedule. Some days are as long as 14 hours. I did work out that they would pay me 35 every 8 hours, which is several dollars under the minimum wage in my state. So I am wondering what I should be paid currently, and what SHOULD happen when we transition to a live-in situation with a brand new baby. She won't be working of course, right before and for at least the maternity leave time after the new baby comes. Also it's confusing, because her EX wants to split the childcare evenly. So what happens when we have two fathers paying me, and what is the pay for newborns. OBVIOUSLY this is really confusing, but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!The confused Aunt-nanny.
