Five week jury duty stint.

[Anonymous]

That was for regular jury duty though, and I noticed a PP posted some rates above with a link.

Just talk to them and maybe they will pay you?? My employers would no questions asked.
Explain to them that you really are in a predicament and ask if you could make up the hours in advance on the weekend..it's not ideal and I think they should pay you.
Nanny Poppinz has temp jobs..I have never had luck with care or sitter city
Good luck!!

I have told my nanny to do everything she legally can to get out of serving. If she can't, we'll work something out to keep her income stable, probably using a combination of vacation, sick leave and future sitting time.

You TOLD her? You as her employer are not allowed to coerce her to get out of serving.

Ohh shut up. She said "Anything she could LEGALLY do". And I assume the nanny gave the impression that she didn't WANT to serve, but had to serve.

I didn't "coerce" her. She was upset that she is having to serve and use her PTO. I have backup and can manage without her no problem.

Op here, spoke to my DB last night about my jury duty. They are paying for four weeks. Which is awesome. I still need suggestions about websites to find additional jobs.

Under no circumstances should you encourage your nanny to perform her civic duty as a citizen!

Encourage her to suck it up and live on a fraction of her income for possibly weeks? Seriously?

Nanny Poppinz was great for temp work
Care, sitter city, e nanny source etc are options
Maybe it won't be that long?? You could also justention at preschool and church etc you were looking to fill in hours..another option is to do overnight newborn care. Pays great and maybe you could do it over the weekend or once a week??

Yes, fool. It's her civic duty. Full stop.
