Employers have NO right to DEMAND nanny to work overtime.

[Anonymous]

If you have hired a nanny to work 7am to 7pm, you have NO right to make her stay until you feel like it.

You MUST ASK her IF
she is able to work later.

If she already has other obligations after her long workday for you, you must have other plans for your childcare.

You can beg your neighbors to help you out in a pinch. Of course that means you need to help them out to, once in a while (weekends or whatever).

Ugh you again. And no, I'm not an MB. But no intelligent nanny would justbe allow her bosses to make her stay overtime. And if the nanny doesnt speak up and allows it to happen /thinks it is normal, there are probably 100 other things she's allowing that she shouldn't.

Why are you so afraid of uninformed nannies getting educated?

I'm not afraid at all. Not an mB and I'm a former nanny. But you post constantly thinking that you are some hero to the nanny world. In reality, the nannies who are allowing their bosses to walk all over them aren't going to stop because some bitter person on the internet with an inflated ego tells them its wrong. What those nannies need is a helpful way to learn to stand up to their MBs and not be afraid of losing their job or being treated like shit for standing up to them.

What job are you doing now?

You can quit. Seriously, you can say no and then submit your resignation. If the parents need someone who can stay pay whatever time they need to hire someone who can provide this flexibility.

Some of you nannies are clearly idiots. You can't expect a job to meet YOUR terms. The job requirements are what they are and you are ONLY trapped if you are not good enough to get a different job. I think most of the stupidity and ranting on this board comes from lowly qualified people who can't find good jobs and are just pissed because of this.

You *can* and should, expect your employer to obey the laws. If they don't, report them. Some people need to learn the hard way. Sad.

Poorly qualified people still deserve to be treated fairly and employed legally.

And people who are poor can't just quit their job when an employer treats them badly, they can't say no and walk away from their only source of income. Open your eyes, would you?

Well said. That pp woman sounds guilty of abusing her nanny.

It's not illegal if they pay them overtime. And even if they are poor, if they are good nannies then they shouldn't have a hard time finding a job where they are treated better. I'm not excusing parents who mistreat their nannies but being poor isn't an excuse for being a bad nanny either. There are plenty of good employers out there too.

Of course no one can force anyone to work overtime. Remember though that most nanny employers need someone to be flexible, especially the ones that pay in the top salary ranges.

So true. Also, OP is not educating nannies. Every single post of hers is directed to MBs, lecturing them about things she assumes they do. If she really wanted to educate nannies, she would post links to laws on the books that protect nannies from being taking advantage of in the work place and how they should approach these issues with their employers in a constructive way. However, OP isn't interested in helping or educating.

OP is just a troll, stirring up trouble and making up fake stories.

+1000. This is the same poster who always claims to be giving nannies helpful information but none of it is based on the actual law so it actually is doing more harm than good.

Nothing specific? Just your random rant. Alright.
