[quote=Anonymous]There is a whole lot of drama on this thread for what amounts to very few snow days in DC.

I don't work for the Feds and I have very few snow days off. That said, I do have the flexibility to work from home occasionally. However, working at home requires me to have childcare. This is something nannies on this board seem to forget. Most employers that allow telework of any kind require childcare during the work day.

If I have a snow day and don't have to work, our nanny doesn't come in and she's paid.

If I don't have a snow day, but have to telework, I can adjust my schedule to make it easiest for our nanny's travel, but I would expect her to come in and this is specified in our contract. If she would like to take PTO and not come in on such a day, that's fine. She can use her PTO as she wishes.

If I have to go in and don't have a snow day, I expect her to come in. If she wants to take PTO or, if she is out of PTO and wants to take it unpaid, she can do that.

We are in open communication about this every possible snow day. All this nonsense about how people spend their spend their time and whether nannies are the same as office workers is just a lot of whining.
