[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I guess my question now is for MBs- Would you agree to guaranteed hours for a PT nanny if they agreed that any time they needed off it would be unpaid? Is there anything else a PT nanny could do to make this arrangement more tolerable?[/quote]

PP here, and as you can see from what I wrote above, this is what I always do. I get paid if I am able to work (even if THEY don't need me), but if *I* can't work, then I take the day off without pay. It let's them know that I will be coming in to work unless I really can't, as I want to get paid and I won't be using sick days just to get a day off when not really needed.[/quote]

It would depend on how often you anticipate this happening, and how much notice you can provide. For a very part-time position, the two most important things a family look for are 1) can you keep the kids safe? and 2) reliability. All the other "great nanny" stuff like creativity and light housekeeping is less important because you just aren't there that much. On the other hand, it is hard to find reliable, consistent babysitting for 10-or-less hours per week, so parents may just take what they can get.[/quote]
