[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah just make the many work 10 hrs on Saturdays!!  Right!!  Let's see how long the nanny works for you under that plan.  Unbelievable.  I'm sure the nanny has a life and doesn't want to work Saturdays![/quote]

MB here.  My nanny routinely [i]asks [/i]to work on Saturdays for extra compensation, but hates to work late or come in before 8:30 during the week.  What works for you isn't necessarily what works for other nannies.  The key for this OP is to explain her needs to the nanny and work something out together that reasonably addresses nanny's needs and the family's needs.  It is not realistic for the nanny to expect to get paid for four hours a day, every day, for several months, without actually working those hours.  Some parents might reluctantly agree to it, but most will require some sort of flexibility in terms of alternative hours or alternative duties.  In fact, I've seen ads on my neighborhood listserv from families looking to find temporary work for their nannies in exactly this situation.        [/quote]
