[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny, I see both sides of this. I absolutely have the ability to turn down hours, but. I WANT to say yes and please my boss where I can, so I sometimes agree to something then regret it later when I am worn out and exhausted. I think phrasing makes a big difference: "We were going to hire a sitter from X-Y on Z day, unless you'd like the hours" Vs. "Are you free from X-Y on Z day?" The first sounds lets me know that saying no won't ruin your plans. The second feels like I have to justify turning you down by claiming to be busier than I am.[/quote]
