[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it would help if you phrased it as "guaranteed hours" (which seems to be the phrase often used on here)?  We hired our nanny to work 36 hours/week (9 hours/day, 4 days/week).   If we leave town or I take a day off, she gets paid for 36 hours.  If she works MORE than 36 hours we pay her for more than 36 hours.

If she asks for a day/days/week off that comes from her vacation or sick time.  I will say we've had 2 awesome nannies over the past 5 years and neither ever took a sick day and only one ever used all of her vacation at her request (the more common scenario was that they got 3-4 weeks of vacation a year because we have taken off or had family visiting).

Technically "salaried" means that she could work 50 hours without OT and I think that's usually a way nannies can get screwed.  If our nanny asked to leave a few hours early or come in late to handle something I wouldn't get into "you took 3 hours PTO" or whatever but for a whole day, that's vacation.  [/quote]
