[quote=Anonymous]Guaranteed hours is the most basic benefit in the nanny world, applicable to both part time and full time nannies, and will be expected by pretty much any candidate worth hiring. This is the notion that you guarantee to pay your nanny for their set schedule every week regardless if you choose not to utilize their full services while the nanny is willing and able to work.

Google "nanny guaranteed hours" you will find a million results.

If you do not offer your nanny guaranteed hours, every other family gladly will.

It's similar to daycare- you are paying got hold your spot/the availability for your family.

I've been a nanny for 15 years and I've seen nannies miss rent, default on bills, lose their apartments because families just go away at their leisure and think it's OK to not pay their employee.

Can you imagine if your employer said "Sorry! Closing for 1/4 of July and your pay will be lowered accordingly- best of luck!". For people who are living pay check to pay check (aka nannies in a high cost of living area) this is absolutely devastating.

I'd bet you anything she's currently job searching.

It is INCREDIBLY difficult to retain part time nannies long term in high cost of living areas while offering industry standard benefits (with definitely includes guaranteed hours). It's impossible to retain anyone without.[/quote]
