[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DH and I work full time but our kids are in school. We pay our nanny for full time. Sure came in handy when the pandemic hit and sure comes in handy for random school closures, mildly sick kids, half days, etc. The nanny generally shows up at our house about an hour or so before the kids get out of school, but sometimes comes over earlier to be in a quiet place to study (going to school part time online).

This job sounds weird - nobody is available 24/7.[/quote]

OP here thank you!
I don’t expect them to pay me full time when the child is in school full time, I told them that, and that I’m ok with looking for a new job and that I will always be in touch with them also for random babysitting hours.

You’re very nice to offer that to your nanny! And I heard other families do the same thing, it just eases the parents mind and somebody is always available for the child.

The problem here is- the MB is simply CHEAP, I started with “guaranteed hours” , which she quickly turned into using the guaranteed hours whenever she wanted and when she gave me a day off, she wouldn’t pay me for it. I complained many times until I finally had it, then we talked to the husband and he said to her you need to pay her for the day I’m ok with that. 
She’s just one of those people who want everybody work around her life and her schedule and bend over backwards… and you just can’t win with these people. I told her that she doesn’t need me full time anymore (bc I don’t want to quit on her, SHE doesn’t need me! I’m leaving bc of that! ).
So she still wants me, for obvious reasons, school closure, sick days and stuff, but only if I PHYSICALLY work full time for her. I’m like how is that gonna work? He’s in school 9-3, be in bed at 6. How can I make it to a full time job? I always offered to run ANY errands, COOK full healthy meals, maybe do a little more cleaning now , I don’t want to just sit around doing nothing.
And they make a lot of money every year so I just don’t get it lol but thank you for your response![/quote]

Wait... this is the troll who was going to call cps bc the child was eating ham sandwiches...[/quote]
