[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone else will snatch her up quickly after she quits.[/quote]

Unless this woman is Mary Poppins I find it unlikely that there will be loads of people clamoring to pay 30-45/ hour for a babysitter with a healthy dose of entitlement and flawed sense of logic.[/quote]
The way OP's contract is now, nanny is only guaranteed 15 hours per week at $30-so $450/week.   Obviously that is not enough to live on, so  Nanny doesn't NEED this money.  Maybe she's a college student or has a wealthy spouse or...who knows what...but she's not going to put up with what she perceives to be unfair treatment (regardless of whether or not that's correct, it's what she perceives) for $450/week.[/quote]

Assuming she is a college student or similar I wish her luck in finding a part time job that accommodates her school hours and pays more than $30/ hour  (likely tax free) without a degree or any specialized credentials.[/quote]

But that's not OP's problem.   OP (presumably) needs reliable childcare.  If nanny feels disrespected and quits, it's none of OP's concern  whether or not she ever works again.[/quote]

Agree 100%.  my point is that $30/hr for a person with no degree or specialty qualifications is an extremely generous rate and OP shouldn’t give in to pressure by other posters (probably other child care providers trying to drive up prices) warning that she should give into this sitter’s ridiculous demands for fear that she’ll otherwise quit.

[b]Ok, so OP should be clear that she expects the nanny to work extra, non contracted hours, at regular rate-[/b]even though the nanny has been clear that she wants time and a half for these hours.   OP should not be surprised when nanny quits or declines the extra hours.[/quote]

She really shouldn't have to "be clear". This is how life works.

Not according to OP's nanny.   In that nanny's life, the extra hours get paid time and a half.   Who needs who more in this situation?[/quote]
