Nanny snow days

[Anonymous]

Are Nannies going to work on snow days? If not, do they take leave? Not sure how to handle this but when nanny doesn’t come and my kid is home, I have to take the day off because I don’t get days off for snow days.

It’s called parenting. Yes Nannie’s get snow days.

If you like your nanny to stay long, let her have off anyway (with pay) that’s what most of my previous families did. Me (as a nanny) I offer to work extra hours to pay it back, though most of the time, they won’t let me.

A day like today? Yes we give a paid snow day.
A day like Wednesday, she came in.

When you get weather and roads are unsafe; you, as a mother, use common sense and tell the nanny to stay safe at home. Yes you ought to pay her!

Under workers comp, if you risk your nanny to drive over under snow, ice and she gets into an accident, she’s going to sue you. Be aware, this has been brought up to court.

This wouldn’t fall under workers comp. Commute time is not work time.
You can sue for anything. Doesn’t mean you will win.

Yes , I’ve known folks that went to court for having the nanny driving on snow day/ice and she wrecked her vehicle. She had all the texts and emails from parents asking her to come in— she hired a lawyer and dispute it and workers comp also had to paid her time and fam paid off her car. A lot of things to consider if you want to push the caregiver to come in if clearly government closed schools and activities. Some folks here have no clue, good luck and pay your nanny!

I would include an inclement weather policy in your employment agreement next time. We inserted that we generally follow OPM guidance on inclement weather and if gov't was delayed or closed, paid her for full day regardless.

Pay your nanny and give her the day when it’s bad out and the everything’s shut down. Is this a real question??? NANNIES ARE PEOPLE TOO. So she risks her life on an icy road to come care for your kid, get into an accident then what??? You just move on to the next sucker. Some of you parents are so selfish. You should be ashamed to even ask this

And I’m willing to bet 99.8% of y’all who hire nannies don’t have the army of lawyers on retainer that your company (who do not offer you snow days [regardless of how poopy it is]) have to fight whatever lawsuit comes up.

Parent your own kids. Jfc.

This just isn't true unless you are talking about the nanny driving the kids around. Commutes are not covered by worker's comp. Can you imagine if anyone who got into an accident on the way to work was able to claim workers' comp?
