[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh good lord, the nannies on this board are ridiculous.  It's no wonder that so many of you end up with no jobs.  [/quote]

I am neither nanny or mb but as a neutral observer, hands down. It is the mb's who are cheap, ridiculous job creepers, leaving dirty dishes, expecting housework from nannies.  I marvel that a nanny would even consider ANY duty that is not child related, including taking care of pets.[/quote]

Thank you! The fact that they can't see that boggles my mind. The entitlement of hiring a person to do one job, but then expecting that they start doing something completely unrelated, and for no extra pay, is just insane. But you can't reason with DCUM MBs. [/quote]

I think this thread took its own turn. I don't think anyone thinks that there's zero extra work involved, but that it's not $40/week worth. I think, more to the point, that the nanny appears to want to have her cake and eat it too- come late/leave early without a change in pay, but then wants to overcharge for a small increase in work.

Really, this is both parties' fault- If MB believes her (and her housekeeper's) flexibility should be valued, acknowledged and ultimately repaid, then she needs to say so, directly. But you can't spend years silent on the issue and then all of a sudden expect the nanny to volunteer to do the work for free. That flexibility needs to be identified as a perk or a benefit and MB should be able to say to the nanny, in exchange for us being so flexible on the time issue, can you make extra dinner twice per week? Alternatively, MB should be mindful of the hours and not be so flexible as to the nanny's coming and goings- but then she should expect to pay for any extra work or time.[/quote]
