Refusing to fly the nanny first class

Yeah, I was thinking they did her a favor.

If they are paying her for every hour of travel it's fine. Nanny could probably afford the first class upgrade if she wants it.

Might depend on how they sold her joining on the family trip. Some really sell the bond and like family part of things. Then she ended up feeling the shock of being less than.

Mmm… I feel like you can’t have it both ways: “being part of the family” when it comes to perks like 1st class, but “this is a job” when it comes to work hours/pay. And the reality is that first class travel for work is not that common. Usually even middle management making $250k+ a year only get business class for flights over 8 or 10 hours, and you are expected to be ready to work as soon as you get off the plane.

It’s be a lovely and generous park to fly the nanny in 1st but I don’t think that should be an expectation. I also feel if the nanny is in 1st class, it’d be reasonable to expect her to take care of the kids, whereas in comfort+ she can nap, read, watch movies etc. so there is a trade off there.

This is nanny entitlement and emotional black mail all the way.

Much of this is caused by so many social media pages dedicated to mentoring nannies to work for "high income families", where they advertise that working for such families entails flying private, and getting gifts and live the same lifestyle as the host. So the nannies enter an employment in a house that looks nice thinking they're living the life of a celebrity.

I am sure if you work for the .01% you get these perks, but most people who travel multiple times a year and even fly first class are just upper middle class and have saved up to make that travel happen.

This must be one of the nannies of McLean. Almost as entitled as the au pairs of McLean.

These people are taking care of your most precious thing... your child. Treat them as you'd want to be treated.

Normal people are not so entitled as to demand that other people buy them first class flights. STFU.

If I was on a trip/flight with my family and some of them decided to upgrade to business with points or cash, I wouldn’t complain.

What is wrong with you? They are taking care of your kids. If you can afford to travel that much, the decent thing to do is to get the nanny the same seat as you. If you aren't, even if you are, you should pay her very well for that extra travel time.

What’s wrong with you? Taking care of kids doesn’t require fancy seats and snacks.
