[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sued our former nanny in small claims court. She was completely wrong. We won. It was terrible, and I wish we hadn't had to do it. [/quote]
Wrong about what? Quitting?[/quote]

Yes because only MBs/DBs do anything wrong and you could definitely win a law suit because a nanny quit. [/quote]

Most MBs/DBs skirt the law at some time over the course of employment, and smart nannies keep records of EVERYTHING. My employers could have tried to sue me for quitting, but I gave the notice required in the contract, helped find a replacement, and could easily have met the burden of proof for "quitting for cause". Ie. changes to my duties, failure to pay on time, persistent tardiness, etc. [/quote]

That's a nasty generalization. "Most" MBs/DBs do not skirt the law. If that's been your experience then maybe you need to take a closer look at your resume and see why those are the jobs you are getting. [/quote]
You are completely clueless. Everyone knows that most domestic workers are still being compensated off the books.[/quote]

Most people I know pay on the books so maybe you just know the wrong people. [/quote]

I think it is very regional. In DC, there is an expectation that you will pay your nanny on the books. Multiple friends in New York treat me like I'm crazy and eccentric for doing it--they don't know anyone else who does.[/quote]
