I'd get their agreement notarized with BOTH parents, so they can be legally held accountable.

Notarization doesn't mean what you think it means. It doesn't make anything legally enforceable. It just verifies the identity of the signatory.

You're quite the naysayer.
Any useful advice?

Actually, they should make their own judgement call based on how their MB behaves. As I'm sure most good nannies don't want to be lumped together will ALL nannies, neither do MBs.

Does your nanny have access to the history of your behavior with your former employees, employers and co-workers?
Most don't.

This needs to change, right?

Yes.

Nannies are getting taken advantage of if they're using their personal car for their employer's kids.

1. Nanny is required to report the "business" use of her vehicle to her insurance company.

2. Nanny's car insurance will increase to cover the business use of her personal vehicle.

3. The IRS reimbursement rate does NOT include the cost of the insurance hike, nor any possible damage from the carseats or damage by the kids (muddy shoes, food, drink, vomit, etc.)

This is NOT a good deal for the nanny.

Nannies need to get educated about these things.

Nannies need to join a union.

Yes, most nannies are easy prey to take advantage of.

We need to just say no.

Are their nannies who mistreat their employers and charges? Sure.

One of our beloved nannies ended up stealing from us. We were blind to it, even tho our belongings kept going missing, because we simply couldn't believe that she could do that to us. On the outside, she seemed to adore our child.

Does this mean I think all nannies are liars and cheats? Of course not. We are now a little more careful and a little less trusting probably, but our subsequent nanny is awesome and we love her.

Point being that while these things happen, you just simply move on.

Where did you find her? Care.com? She wasn't a nanny. She was a criminal. Did you report the crimes to the authorities? I certainly hope so. Did she go to jail?

People don't want you caring for their children if they think you don't want to be there. As soon as notice is given MB will feel very different about you and send you on your way. The only way to avoid this is to say your moving or going to school FT, sometimes even that isn't going to prevent everything from changing.

Np- the advice is, agreements are enforceable. Notarizing unnecessary. A reasonable Clause would be eg, if nanny gives notice and parents don't want her to work it, they have to pay in lieu of it.

Would the labor board enforce it, or would the nanny have to hire her own attorney? Thank you.

No, because I'm tired you resurrecting old threads to start parent-nanny battles. Find a new hobby.
