If the parents are constantly taking advantage of a nanny, the nanny should quit, right?

I'm so done with the entitled attitude of some (not all) nannies, esp. on this board.  If a family and nanny have a good relationship, then it should be no problem for the family to ask a favor of the nanny, or vice versa, and the person being asked not to get so riled up and offended.  We have accommodated our kid's nanny a lot - she has used up her PTO *for the year* and has been taking unpaid TO - which she appreciates and in turn, does favors for us, such as coming on an occasional Saturday when we can't find a sitter.  A healthy family/nanny relationship is give and take.

I agree with PP that if you and the family otherwise have a good relationship and if they just did you a huge favor by letting you take 2 months unpaid leave, then suck it up and return the favor.  Those three days at the beginning of August are days you are not entitled to; the family could very well ask you to come in those days and take care of baby laundry or whatever your usual duties are.  Or when they set your return date, they could have prorated your pay for the month of August by not paying you for those three days.  That is actually what would happen in the business world; you don't start getting paid until your first day of work, whether that date is set at your or your employer's convenience.  [/quote]
