[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely believe that it is their responsibility to relieve you at a time when you can get home safely and at no additional cost to you BUT it is absolutely your responsibility to set those parameters when taking the job. They don't know how far away you live, your mode of transportation, or the cost of your travel. The strategy I use is simply to alert families that because I will be taking the T to get there, if they're home later than 11pm I charge a flat fee of $20 for my cab fare home. If they aren't comfortable with that they can hire someone else, but I've never had anyone turn me down. :) For the nanny who said her family doesn't pay for her gas to get home...that is true. But would you spend $25 on cab fare after working a babysitting job that pays $50? Or even $100? I would not - that's a 25-50% pay cut! If you were spending 50% of your FT wages getting home every night after your work as a nanny, I suspect you'd be looking for a new job ASAP.[/quote]
