[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. Professional nannies DO NOT sleep on the job.[/quote]

MB here and although I wouldn't necessarily mind, I think this goes hand in hand with some of the other posts recently - the "can I bring a friend to work with me?" and the "can I do my laundry at MB's house."  Sure, there are probably some employers who truly wouldn't mind if you brought along your friend to work, did your laundry every day while the kids napped, and slept while you were waiting for your laundry to finish.  But you probably need to decide what kind of nanny you want to be, which will affect how seriously you will be taken and how you will be compensated.

All those nannies saying they should be paid $25/hour for how hard their job is and that nannies aren't taken seriously as a profession?  If you really want to be in that elite group of nanny that is hired by people with personal chefs and paying their nannies $25/hour, you're not going to be asking about having a friend tag along and whether you can take naps during work hours.  All that stuff is simply NOT professional.  It may be fine with your MB; or possibly, she's agreeing because she feels awkward saying no and mentally thanking her lucky stars she's only paying you an average rate for all the ways in which you're adding little stresses to her life.
