[quote=Anonymous]"So what do think should be our basic Rights as nannies? And what can we do to ensure we are all safer in the workplace? "

1. the examples you give have nothing to do with "nanny rights" and "workplace safety". If you are chosing to travel to a country as volatile /risky as those listed above, you have way bigger concerns than OT issues. The biggest issue being not trusting the police much and the likelihood of something physically dangerous happening to you.
2. on a totally different note, if you mean the US - where almost everyone here lives - then I would say nannies should be afforded the same rights as other hourly workers. If all hourly jobs are required to guarantee hours and pay OT, then nanny jobs should too. But I totally disagree that nannies should be singled out for getting better mandated benefits simply because the families that employ them are less politically powerful than say restaurant owners. (FWIW, I do guarantee hrs, pay sick & vacation and have had same nanny 5 yrs - but being a responsible employer is different from thinking things should be legally mandated.)[/quote]
