Exactly. You pay for flexibility. A lot.

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).

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.

Exactly! This is the sh*t stirrer that makes up stories, sock puppets her threads, and tries to engage anyone who disagrees with her by calling them names (dictator, ffn, cheap angry MB) and being rude. Can we all acknowledge that this is the same crazy who may or may not be a nanny, but she does not represent the majority of nannies here. She just poses as a million different people in an attempt to start flame wars. Lets stop feeding this troll, she's getting greedy.

I don't think any one individual can possibly have that much power around here. But if you insist, fine. I doubt anyone else cares as much as you do. Why do you keep responding if you feel like that?

NP here, and I am just as annoyed by you as all of the other posters who have commented towards that end. Get a life. If you truly thought you were "educating" all of the poor downtrodden nannies out there, why continue to post anonymously?

And you thought you could force your nanny into OT for you, even when she has other plans. Nice.

How is the nanny not being forced to work OT when you come home an hour or two late, beyond the time she agreed to work? You think she should just leave your kids alone or drive them to the local police station (like they do in daycares), and let you get charged with neglect?

You think a nanny needs to be perpetually on call, until you determine that you've got all your shopping done?

No.

If you think you MIGHT be late on any given day, you ASK the nanny in advance if she is available to work late that day. She may very well have other commitments and obligations. Or she may be happy to cover for you, especially when you offer to double her regular hourly rates.

I know daycares where you pay a dollar a minute for being late. Nannies should have late fees to.

It is certainly not HER job to tell you everytime you are not allowed to be late. You need to be responsible here.

In the case of the best paid nannies, this is a nonissue. Hense their $100,000. to $200,000 per year salaries.
