[quote=Anonymous]Other types of hourly jobs don't get guaranteed hours, true, but those jobs also have RIDICULOUS turnover. If that is okay with you, go right ahead and structure your job that way. If you want someone to commit to you long term, and to be able to maintain their availability without keeping an eye out for extra hours and other better jobs, you need to guarantee the schedule.

Any MB with half a brain knows its in the best interest of all involved to do so. Do you want your nanny distracted while caring for your kid constantly with the worry of how she will eat/pay her bills because YOU take a lot of vacation? Do you want her tired and burnt out because she's moonlighting to make up lost income? Its not difficult to treat childcare as a fixed expense. Why you MBs would advise against guaranteed hours is beyond me. Not everyone does it, but it is a general practice. That is what OP asked. Not if every single nanny in the history of nannying gets it. Generally full time nannies expect and recieve guaranteed hours. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous. [/quote]
