[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come corporations don't do this for their workers?[/quote]

excellent point.  also, anyone taking a job working for an individual and not a corporation realizes the risks involved here and is willing to take these risks, as they are inherent to the type of position.  I am not talking just nannies... do you think if someone worked as a personal assistant for someone who then lost their job that the personal assistant would still have a job?  no of course not.  the personal assistant would be let go.  MAYBE they would get a week or two notice, but in tough times you do what you have to do.

and yes or course it is smart to have a safety net of funds saved for a rainy day, but it is also smart to cut costs when times get tough - and childcare is one of them, unfortunately.[/quote]

I worked as an assistant to a realtor a while back.  when the housing market fell she didn't have enough business and cut my hours.  it was disappointing because I loved the work but I understood that of course she could not keep me around full time if she was struggling herself.  I loved working with her but realized that was the risk when you worked for an individual - if she wanted to up and move to Hawaii she had the right to do so - if she doesn't make money neither do I - there was no job security.  since I am not that risk averse I left to work for a company instead of an individual.
