[quote=Anonymous][quote]If nannies want to be paid a fixed amount every week in the manner of a daycare center, they need to be prepared to earn a lower nominal hourly rate, discounted to reflect time the family won't need her services. In other words, they need to focus on the average effective rate rather than the nominal hourly rate. Except, of course, when nannies manage to dupe new parents into thinking that it is standard to get 6 or more weeks paid vacation.[/quote] Most parents do this when figuring out what to offer. If they know they'll be off for six weeks, its pretty standard to offer a lower rate if there is more paid time off. This appeals to some candidates and not others but its all just compensation. Guaranteed hours is a benefit not an entitlement and nannies need to negotiate this upfront. You should never assume that you receive something that wasn't offered at the time you were hired.
