[quote=Anonymous]I have been working the past 11 months with a wonderful family. My charges are 15 months and 3 years old. I love them dearly! I am a little hurt by what has transpired this morning. I asked my family if I could take a day off New Years Day and they said no. MB lectured me on how they need reliability and they would replace me if I decided to take off.

Let me make this clear, I've never missed a day of work or even been late. My days are normally standard but I come in sometimes at 5:30am and stay until 6pm. I stay late, show up early, completely run the household( ligh housekeeping, dinner( for charges and parents), 
pickups, dropoffs, shopping, doctor appointments, classes, play dates, etc). I organize and execute everything.

I'm not too exoerienced( only 2.5 years as nanny) so I was stupid for taking a position that doesn't offer sick days or vacation time. The only day I get off is Xmas eve, Xmas and New Years Eve this winter. I asked off for New Years( they want me from 6am-7pm so they can have alone time). I asked if I could have that day off as I'd like to celebrate New Years Eve and a flat out no. They won't even be working.

I can't believe they would even fire me over this. I am seriously considering finding a new job ASAP. Am I out of line and they are right? I will work New Years because I don't want MB to be mad at me but I can't do anything the night before now.

Is this even a firing offense? I mean one day?[/quote]
