[quote=Anonymous]MB here. Honestly, in your instance, I wouldn't bend it at all. As their first nanny, you are setting the expectations about what a nanny/family relationship is. And, in my mind, guarenteed hours is a basic. Next time it seems natural, I would let them know what you've told us. Just how much you appreciate their kindness and respect. Then, also mention how the guarenteed hours allow you to count on a regular income and make it possible to give your all to the job. There are definitely other ways you could give some extra. You could let it slide if they come home 15 minutes late. Or throw in some extra light housework that isn't expected. You could even offer to come in during this extra paid vacation and bring in mail, get some organizing done or just check in on the house. But two unpaid weeks - no way. [/quote]
