[quote=Anonymous]We are almost two months into our nanny share and after some adjustments, things are going very well. Recently, our nanny began questioning a number of items that are very explicit in the contract that she was provided well in advance of needing to sign (3 weeks).  She is caring for two babies, 45 hours a week ($20/hour for 40 of those hours and $30/hour for the additional five overtime hours), receives 10 vacation days (5 chosen by the families, 5 of her choice), 5 sick days and 10 Federal Holidays; no overtime for these days. Both families did extensive research to ensure that we were providing her a worthwhile package (we are located in Rockville).

However, she is just now telling us that she has an issue with no overtime being paid for the days she is off, and that she is concerned about being able to choose just 5 of the vacation days. With two families, we felt that it was important to coordinate time off to ensure fairness to all parties and we chose Christmas Eve through New Years Day, especially since it gave her two extra days with the two Federal Holidays, and consulted with her before finalizing. Both of these points were very clear in the contract, which leads me to believe she didn't full read the contract, as she was asked multiple times if she had any questions and if everything made sense.

I'm not really sure where to go from here. Thoughts on how to respond?[/quote]
