[quote=Anonymous]When I took my first nanny position, I didn't realize there would be an issue of parents canceling and not paying me, so I didn't know I needed to negotiate for it. When they decided to take two, 3-week vacations that year (outside of the holidays) without paying me, I was in a serious bind. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant and I still think it is wrong to do that to a nanny. So yes, nannies *should* negotiate this upfront. Not all nannies know that they need to, either because they've never encountered it before or because they're new to the profession. In a case like that, I absolutely agree the nanny should give her notice shortly before the employers leave on vacation and move on to another position. There is nothing unprofessional about that.[/quote]
