[quote=Anonymous]The laws that apply here are very simple: per The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, human beings are no longer considered the legal property of other human beings.

I know such progressive agendas can be difficult to fully understand, but your nanny is a self-employed or contract worker with whom you have what is ideally a mutually-beneficial exchange of goods and services. As such, you and your nanny should have an agreed-upon work contract that you both signed at the beginning of his/her employment. Believe it or not, that contract does not exist solely to provide you with a list of your entitlements. It is also in place to protect your nanny, who not only has a legal right to be compensated for the time she has set aside for you (whether you ultimately need her services during that time or not), but who also has the legal right to make her own decisions about where and for whom she works. So, no, you can not legally "loan out" your nanny like a power tool.

You can, however, ask her to sign an addendum to your contract if you anticipate this issue occurring again. One week with a new family is a rather small price, and I have no doubt your nanny would take advantage of the legal right to periodically loan out your child in exchange for one not being raised around a sociopathic sense of entitlement.[/quote]
