[quote=Anonymous]If you are a nanny, and your regular duties are to walk the baby to pick up the big kids from school every day, that's what you're paid for and that's what you do, then yes, you have to do it in the rain! Lessoned learned that you need to make sure you check the weather and bring a big raincoat and rain boots when rain is predicted. It's part of your job and sometimes it rains!

For what it's worth, I live in the city and I have three children and no car. I walk the baby to pick up the big kids from school every day, and guess what? Sometimes it's raining. You're not the wicked witch, you won't melt.

If you called me, your employer, to tell me you couldn't do your job because it was raining outside and you might get wet (!?!), and I needed to interrupt my workday to come and do your job for you, yeah, you'd be fired.

Now, that being said, if it's more of a "once in a while I may ask you to get the big kids from school" and they ask today, it's pretty reasonable to say "Oh, it's raining pretty hard and I didn't bring my raincoat" and see what they say. But if it's a standard duty of yours, that's on you. [/quote]
