[quote=Anonymous]I usually do get paid for many of these days. I get guaranteed hours, and if they don't need me then I get paid. Now what I do agree to doing, is exchanging a 4 hour work day (a holiday you don't need me for) for a weekend babysitting night. I get paid on the holiday, and will do the babysitting later for you. That way I get my usual pay. I have always had families offer the week between christmas and new years paid as a holiday bonus type thing. Some people will offer to do a bit of light housekeeping on a day that you don't need her for childcare. I don't get paid sick days, but usually they let me do a babysitting night to work it out so I can still get paid my normal weekly pay (but I never assume that this will happen, and I am very rarely sick). I have taken a couple of positions that were lower than my usual rate (or on the low range) because they were willing to accommodate these needs if they were offering enough hours throughout the week and I knew I could count on a steady pay - instead of 1 week off here, and another week of there, and random holidays that would mess with my budget.[/quote]
