Those jobs pay a minimum of $100,000., in which case nanny doesn't complain too much. If parents really want 24/7 from one person, it's more like $300,000.

Even if the job did have the expectation of short term notice for travel availability, how inconsiderate is it to wait until the last minute to let her know about your plans if the parents already knew they'd be going?? That still shows a disrespect for OPs personal life, and I wouldn't allow it. It doesn't seem like OP has one of those 24 hour, be ready to travel at the drop of a hat type jobs. If she did, this wouldn't be such a surprise.

Not to mention that the nanny would be grossing more than most parents on this forum.

I can't help but wonder how long ago the grandmother mentioned this? maybe the mother thought it was communicated already? I find it hard to believe there was nothing to indicate you would be going to the wedding. Also, why didn't you just ask her about it when the grandma mentioned it??

Don't know if your husband could afford that, but he certainly should know the monetary value of your work and dedication.

I don't know where you got your figures from, but as someone who has worked a job of that nature I can assure you that you're not going to find a $300,000 24/7 nanny job. Such jobs usually don't pay a minimum of $100,000 either...it's usually quite a bit less. The job I worked did have short-notice travel that could last a few weeks, but in return I was granted a sufficient amount of time off when we returned to make up for working 24/7 for 3 weeks straight. When we returned the other nanny would take over for a week or so to give me some personal time to catch up on things (appointments, friends, etc...)

Celebrity nanny jobs are few an far between (thank goodness). I've worked two high profile jobs, and interviewed for quite a few others. They are not all they are cracked up to be, and only one offered a salary over $100,000. Most included extensive travel. They can be exhausting jobs, but also worth it in the short term if one is trying to save up some money.

Professional nannies who have the skills to manage a celebrity job, are also few and far between. That goes without saying, FYI.

So there are only a few celebrity nannies and a few celebrity jobs making six figures to employ them. That would make mentioning these outliers pretty irrelevant to this discussion, right?

Anyone is allowed to mention just about anything they want, or are you new here?
