[quote=Anonymous]Sorry everyone is being so harsh, OP. It is totally understandable that you find this all confusng. You cannot bank hours. Nannies are hourly employees. Guaranteed means that you will pay for her availability whether or not you need her and it is a standard perk in the nanny industry. If you really don't want to pay, then you can stop offering guaranteed hours, but then you end up having to piece together childcare from whichever nanny or sitter is available, rather than one person who knows your kid guaranteeing her availability. Now that said, I think it's reasonable when families ask nannies to use these free days off to undertake a child-related project, such as preparing some purees to freeze, or rotating out kids' clothes/toys--anything she might regularly to as part of her job but would be able to accomplish more quickly without children underfoot. This frees her up to focus exclusively on the kids when you return.[/quote]
