[quote=Anonymous]You need to go into this understanding that you are fundamentally asking to renegotiate your compensation package with each family.  Guaranteed hours make sense (my nanny has them) and are pretty standard in FT nanny jobs.  Seems a bit less so in PT nanny jobs, epsecially if it's just 1 day a week sometimes like with family A.

You need to sit down with them and explain that December has made you realize that the lack of guaranteed hours are creating a financial strain for you.  You NEED to express regret for not thinking of this when you first started with them (or last reviewed your pay with them in Family A's case).  But say that you really need to ensure a consistent pay level each week because you are reserving the time in you schedule for them.  They are paying to "hold" your time, even if they are not using it in effect.  If you are dead set on getting guaranteed hours and not eager to job hunt then consider offering to reduce your rate SLIGHTLY in recognition of the fact that you are in effect asking for something that will increase costs on their end to your benefit and was not part of what was initially agreed.[/quote]
