[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This also depends on your NF employers!  Note that whether gov or not, if gov NOT closed, you have to take your own leave.  I am an MB and I asked for today off - boss said no.  It is not always about NF being jerks![/quote]

And sometimes it is. Sometimes parents aren't working but want their nanny to come entertain their kids. It's not always about nannies whining. Sometimes NFs ARE jerks. [/quote]

Sure, and sometimes employers just want the nannies to come to work so they can do other things.  Which is fine.  As long as it's safe to be on the roads people should go to work.  I feel this way about my job and colleagues also.  [/quote]

You can't have it both ways. Either the roads are fine, and people should be going to work, including nanny employers, or everyone wants to take advantage of a snow day "to do other things" and what you do with your kids on those snow days is not your nanny's problem. [/quote]

I don't see it that way.  I take vacation days sometimes and use them to run errands, see a friend for lunch, go through all the last season clothing to put away/donate/whatever, etc...  Our nanny works those days.  If I have a day off that doesn't automatically equal our nanny having a day off.  Sometimes it does, or sometimes it means a shortened day for her, but sometimes I'm using that day off for my own purposes.  How I spend that time is irrelevant to her obligation to work any given day.[/quote]
