This.

Why do so many people feel that just because someone is PT instead of FT, that it makes a difference in them not paying for days not needed? Someone who works just PT probably needs the money even more as it might be their only income. We need our regular pay just like a FT nanny does. Actually, some FT nannies could probably manage without their full pay for one week here and there, if they knew about it in advance and could budget for that over the month. A PT has less wiggle room with extra spending cash and what they actually need for food and bills each month.

Guaranteed hours are the only way to go with PT, as it is harder to find someone that will stick with you for more than just 6 months, and it can be difficult to find a couple PT positions (to earn more money) that have schedules that work with each other. Pay them for a regular schedule and they won't feel like they have to find a new FT job to be able to know financially that they will be covered. If they had to switch to FT, then that would mean one less person in the pool to hire for PT positions. If quite a few have to do this due to families that feel like taking 2 weeks off here and there and not paying for their PT nanny at those times, then it will be much harder to find someone for the job and you will have to pay much more per hour for someone as well. Prevent the high turn over rate and just pay for a regular schedule. Everyone will be much happier in the end.[/quote]
