[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will preface this saying I do not have a nanny, but here are my thoughts. If she misses a day of work due to snow, why would you pay her for that day?  It seems to me, she should either use a vacation day or take it unpaid. [/quote]

Employers of nanny’s shouldn’t be so cheap to complain about paying a snow days. [/quote]

There are lots of employees who don't get paid if they make the choice not to show up for work.  Why are nannies different?   If I don't want to go to work on a snowy day and my company has not made the call to be closed, I have to take a day of leave.  Why is it "cheap" not to pay someone for work they didn't do?[/quote]

It’s a racket.

The nannies on this thread can think of no valid reason why they demand to be paid when they don’t work, so they resort to name-calling.

Glad the kids have aged out of the need  a bitfor child care.[/quote]

Employer of a nanny here.

The difference - and this is key - is that when you employ someone to care for your mids, you are a lot more invested than a corporation employing a non-exempt (hourly) worker.  So you end up paying for snow days because, this person wipes your kids hands before and after they eat. And plays games with them.  And maybe drives them places.   So you just pay because it’s the right thing to do and you’re more connected to them as a human.  Vs just being employee number 1238594 who works at XYZ Corp.  [/quote]
