[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny who works on call at hotels. My last 3 bookings have been with super sick kids, no advance notice. Normally I’m on the floor playing games, doing crafts, and engaging with the children. Since the kids are super sick and I don’t feel like getting whatever they have, I’ve sat in the corner wearing a mask while the kids watched tv for 4 hours straight. If you want to be an a-hole and book me for your sick kids, that’s what you get. Im not getting sick for a one day booking! [/quote] I would notify them of my sick rate when I got there. My normal rate is x/hour, 4 hour minimum; sick rate is up to 8 hours at 2-3 times my normal rate and paid for the whole eight hours regardless of how long I’m there. If a parent is desperate enough, they’ll pay. I’m not taking care of sick kids at my normal rate. ex: $25/hour normal rate, $100 minimum booking; sick rate would be $400-600, depending on the illness and severity[/quote]
