[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different nanny here, exact same problem.
Nanny family is on vacation, this is one of my weeks of paid vacation and I'm expected to go 2-3 times a day to feed the pets. My original job description didnt include pet care but they are shitty pet owners and the dog never had water and far too often they forgot to feed him. It's costing me a fortune to go back and forth every day, multiple times for no additional pay- especially since this is my vacation as well. So  stuck here in the city and inwardly fuming. 
At least this job ends soon. I wouldn't put up with this long term.[/quote]

Are you getting paid your regular rate and it's not being counted as your vacation time?   Then just go on your regular hours.   Say you typically work 7am -6 pm....just go in at 7 am, feed the pets, then just hang out 'till 6 pm when you need to feed them again.   Bring a book or a sewing project or whatever you do.   Or if there are any nice shops or museums or whatever near your work that you'd like to check out, do that.    Or go for a run or walk.

If you're being paid, it's not a bad thing to get paid to hang around reading  or working out or whatever instead of actual "work."  If you CHOOSE to go back home in the interim, that's your choice and you really shouldn't complain about the gas you are using.[/quote]

She said that this is one for her paid vacation weeks. So you think it's fair to expect you nanny to come to your house 2-3 times a day during HER vacation or to expect her to spend HER vacation at work??[/quote]

PP you are responding to here.

No, I would NOT think that is fair--but did she really say that it is one of her "paid vacation" weeks?    Maybe I missed it, but I didn't think she posted at all beyond her OP?   And her OP didn't specify?   Please let me know if I am wrong.[/quote]

She said DIFFERENT NANNY HERE (so it is NOT OP) and then "this is one of my weeks of paid vacation".[/quote]
