[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been with my nanny family for 10 years. The kids are in school but I have guaranteed hours. Usually I only work 3-7:30pm. The parents keep me because they don’t have the kinds of jobs they can go without a nanny. I think MB kind of resents paying me 40hrs for 25, but if they didn’t have me on call they’d have no one for sick days or days or school and breaks. When I’m on call, I’m at my house doing whatever I please. I keep my phone on and wake up at 6am and get ready in case they call me in for a sick day. Otherwise I go get my nails done, my hair, groceries, babysit for other families (Mb’s sham friends who know I have to leave if she calls) whatever. If the school or MB calls, I drop everything and go get the kids. MB only asks me to do groceries and that’s it, so I just do theirs when I do mine. In return I never ever call in sick and will babysit sat nights for free when needed (since it’s outside of my guaranteed hours). It’s good for both of us. I think op needs to specify the nanny can’t leave, since maybe she thought she could. [/quote]
