[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can feel however you want, but the fact is that guaranteed hours are expected and common. In exchange, the nanny offers stable availability every week, rather than needing to schedule extra jobs to supplement her unexpected and unpredictable change in income.

Surely you can see how much more common it would be for a nanny to lose out on some of her anticipated work time than it is for your place of employment to lose power. How often does that happen anyway? If my experience is anything to go by, most parents would change the schedule WEEKLY if they could. Luckily I'm not an indentured servant so we set it ahead of time.[/quote]

I've never considered offering guaranteed hours to [b]any of our many nannies[/b] over the last 7+ years. I have never had a difficult time finding anyone to take the job.[/quote]

And this is why your opinion is of little consequence. You may not have trouble finding someone, but you clearly have trouble keeping them. Guaranteed hours are expected. No one wants to deal with you screwing with their schedule every week and a good nanny doesn't need to.[/quote]
