[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really shouldn't need a contract. The nanny-family relationship is built on trust and respect. If you don't have those two things it will never work out anyways, contract or not.[/quote]

I agree this is terrible advice.  Using a nanny contract made us both aware of job expectations as well as things I never would have thought of had they not been listed on the contract (like which federal holidays to cover).  It also can outline responsibilities so there is no job creep or job slip.  [/quote]

And again it should be a relationship based on trust and respect. You are an at-will employee so you can quit whenever you want and MB can fire you whenever she wants. If you get to the point where she asks you to do something and you say "no my contract says I don't have to, sorry" you are probably about to be let go anyways or at least you will have an awkward relationship with MB. So like I said a contract doesn't do much for a nanny but make things weird.[/quote]

Could disagree more.  If I had had a contract I would have thought about federal holidays and be getting paid for tomorrow instead of trying to make ends meet without this ten hours of work I'm losing. [/quote]

No more likely than not you would be out of a job as MB passed on you and your ridiculous demands to find a better nanny. If you want paid holidays and all these other benefits than you need to find a real job governed by laws that provide those perks. Just MHO[/quote]
