[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're not going to get a fair answer here because post posters are poor but imagine themselves as rich therefore terrible nany employers.  Yes, it's unreasonable for them to expect you to walk in a thunderstorm to get the kids.  You should have gotten an Uber, charged it to your employers, gotten the kids home and resigned at the end of your shift. These are not people you want to work for. In the future, only look at families that go through reputable agencies with clearly defined roles, responsibilities in your contract and contingencies for a variety of situations.[/quote]

I very rarely side with an employer over a nanny, but I have a hard time seeing it as unreasonable to expect a nanny to pick up the kids from school in conditions that I and many other parents near me deal with when needed.  If the school age children can handle it, of course the nanny can.[/quote]

you regularly walk in thunderstorms to pick up your kids?[/quote]

Regularly?  I can’t say that I experience these conditions regularly.  But yes— we live close enough to walk, the car line is bananas on a normal day (and there is a cutoff time to change pickup plans), there is very limited legal parking near the school and it is overrun when the weather is bad.  And we are absolutely not the only people sucking it up and walking.

We can argue about this more but OP hasn’t provided any details about what the walk, neighborhood, or school are like.[/quote]
