[quote=Anonymous]I am the nanny participating in a nanny share where one family has a skewed idea of what light house work is and how challenging it is to do it all with two children underfoot. The housekeeping issues are over I still have to do a lot more than I should participating in a nanny share but it's no longer their weekend pots and pans, sheet changing etc. the other family didn't want it to become an us versus them feel so they weren't as vocal as they assured me they would be with the other family. The issue of the paid 30 min break came up and Family A said "we don't want to pay her for any time she isn't working but I think will give in and allow for a 15 min break.

Now for the question: Guaranteed hours are there so the nanny doesn't experience a change in paycheck and to ensure she is always available when you need her correct? Both families take a lot to days off here and there and now with one family taking a whole 2 weeks off without paying me is starting to hit my pocketbook. The other family has furlough days so this is going to add up. I don't want another battle but is it correct to assume that if I want to take an unpaid day off here and there they should accommodate. By this I mean if one family isn't bringing their child could I opt to take the whole day off?

Thanks for all the advice. [/quote]
