[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow and good grief, the OP is just asking a question. Not everyone phrases themselves the best and I am sure this employer is not trying to say she owns her nanny. They are looking for help, not snarky answers. 
To answer your question OP: The best thing is to communicate with your nanny. Do you have an agreement that states if she is paid when not needed? If yes then it is a good idea to stand by it, you could ask however if she might be willing help out someone, and perhaps just make that a nanny share time. If she does not want that kind of arrangement, and you really like her and want to keep her on I would just pay her for the time and have her do other things for you.
I hope that helps a bit.

This is terrible advice.

[b]If OP and her nanny have an agreement that the nanny is paid guaranteed hours,[/b] regardless of whether her employer needs her or not, OP should absolutely not ask if she would be willing to "help out someone" and make that "nanny share time." The nanny is entitled to be paid her full wages from OP. Period. Her job description cannot be changed to share-nanny, or dog-walker, or house-cleaner ("doing other things") for that week. She is either allowed to do her job that week - work as a nanny for OPs children - or she isn't, but she will be paid either way. [/quote]
