[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. IMO, this woman is clearly taking advantage of you! If her daughter is in high school, she can be by herself for the day. Another option: have you considered offering to let Nanny bring her daughter with her to work in this scenario? If she's like most teens I know, she'll be content playing on an iPad or watching tv (in a different room than the baby).

This just seems to be a slippery slope to me. She can't do her job any time her daughter has to stay home from school? What about all the numerous teacher work days and school holidays? Or days that her daughter is home sick? Does she get all of those days off paid as well?

Do you actually have a contract with her? Does it address snow days or days she has to take off to care for her daughter? Normally I would say days that work is missed due to snow should be paid, but it sounds like she isn't missing it because the roads are bad, but rather, because of her daughter being home, which is a different thing entirely. (Presumably, if her school was canceled, the roads aren't great, but often times in my experience school has been canceled when roads have still been passable.)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you don't want to deal with these or a myriad of other issues with your nanny, then hire one who doesn't have her own kids! I think I've seen more issues pertaining to nannies with their own kids posted on this board than any other singular issue; it's not that hard to understand, people! Nanny with her own kid = inconveniences for you down the road. [/quote]
