[quote=nannydebsays]What does your share work agreement say?

Does it indicate that Family A is paying $X for 5 days/Y hours a week, and that Family B is paying $A for 4 days/B hours a week?

If that is the case, your nanny is justifiably upset, IMO. She is paid for 5 days by family A, and for 4 days by Family B. Now Family B wants an additional day of care for no additional money, from her viewpoint.

Let's spell it out with actual dollars and hours: Family A pays $350/week for 5 days/50 hours of care. Family B pays $350/week for 4 days/40 hours of care.

So, in nanny's mind, she is working for no additional money if Family B wants that 5th day.

If this is the case, you need to review your work agreement with her and either find and explain the clause that allows Family B to add in an extra day for no extra money, or you need to figure out a fiscal compromise.

However, if the work agreement already indicates that Family A is paying $X for 5 days/Y hours a week, and that Family B is ALSO paying $X for 5 days/Y hours a week, although they may not regularly use the entire time they pay for, then a simple work agreement review and explanation is needed.[/quote]
