[quote=Anonymous]Generally, advance notice is ideal. Usually a minimum of two weeks notice when requesting days off. This gives parents plenty of time to find alternative care. Parents tend to have this mindset that nannies are supposed to be accommodating to last minuate scheduling changes and often assume we want the extra hours/money. While I don't agree with that mindset I have realized it's fairly common. This is why clear boundaries should be placed and a detailed pto section placed in your contract. 
In your current situation, I would apologize for the short notice and reiterate that it is a mandatory medical procedure that can't be delayed then had them a list of local backup care agencies. I'd than ask to have a pto section placed in your contract to clarify policies in the future. Also, I would start setting up boundaries and no longer stay late or sit as often. It helps them realize you have a life outside of work.

I'd also check with a doctor about your frequent illnesses that cause you to miss so many days off a year. Being sick unable to work 5 days a year, while not excessive, is not completely normal.

Best of luck. And if all else fails, just ignore their rude behavior. People take things to personally and it clouds their judgment.[/quote]
