HAHAHAH are you the idiot MB in question?

If your boss told you "well, it's a paid holiday BUT if you don't work at McDonalds instead this week, it's unpaid" would you do it?

Maybe if you made up an example that matched the conversation at hand.... If on Friday my boss told me "Hey, the office is closed all next week for emergency pipe repair, we have temporary offices set up in the building down the road. It's just for the week. See you Monday." I wouldn't whine. Sure I wouldn't be in the same office, might not see all the same people, wouldn't be the most natural week for me with different parking situation and such, but I would still do my job. That is the benefit of guaranteed work. On the flip side my boss could say "the office is closed, you don't have to come in, we aren't paying you for this week. See you next Monday." and that would suck since I work to get Monday and I'd rather keep earning my money than having weeks of unpaid vacation time.

Sorry, no, your example is the same as if the MB asked her to watch the kids she normally watched at another location. You're pretty dense, aren't you, angry MB?

Nanny's job is watching kids. MB is asking her to watch some kids nearby. It's exactly the same. It's surely not like the PPs post of your boss asking you to go work at McDonalds for a week. If nanny doesn't want to work, fine, just don't expect money. I hope MB takes some time to search for a new nanny while hers is enjoying this undeserved vacation.

If you truly believe that all kids and families require the exact same type of nanny and that every family is interchangeable with every other family, then you clearly spend zero time with children.

I've been a nanny for a decade and a half. It's not hard at all to care for different types of kids.

Then you're doing it wrong. It is a completely different experience to work with kids with whom you have an established relationship, who know and trust you and with parents who trust your judgement and have a solid rapport with you than it is to walk into a random babysitting gig. If you don't find those two scenarios different then you aren't a nanny, you are a sitter.

Your being asked to babysit for a week, OPs scenario doesn't require all this deep thought. She doesn't deserve money for no work, end of story!

She deserves money for no work because that is what guaranteed pay often is. The alternative is for them to sync their vacation with hers so that they are only paying paid vacation once. It's not her fault that the family didn't think this through. One family is not the same as another. Guaranteed pay reserves her time to work for their family, performing her regular duties and nothing else. It does not reserve her time to do whatever-the-hell-they ask, unless her job duties as listed are defined in those terms. If you don't want to pay your nanny guaranteed hours then don't offer. As it is they are getting a bargain. They are guaranteeing her 10 hours of pay and she is reserving 20+ hours of her time each week.

I am an MB and I disagree with this 100%. Our nanny agreed to work for US. Not another family.

Just because you've clearly been taken advantage of and brainwashed by your MBs doesn't mean OP should be.

Except she has a contract, so unless her contract says she has to fill in for the neighbor, she does get paid.

OP's MB can also choose to not go on vacation.

No it's not, you cannot subcontract your nanny out like she's a piece of rental equipment.

I'm not going to head into work one day at my company, Google and have them shut down for a week and then they request that I work that week they are closed over at Amazon. THAT is the analogy.
