[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guaranteed hours = guaranteed work. You are being offered work to earn your income, they are not leaving you high and dry. If you do not wish to work then you do not deserve to get paid.[/quote]

HAHAHAH are you the idiot MB in question?

If your boss told you "well, it's a paid holiday BUT if you don't work at McDonalds instead this week, it's unpaid" would you do it?[/quote]

Maybe if you made up an example that matched the conversation at hand.... If on Friday my boss told me "Hey, the office is closed all next week for emergency pipe repair, we have temporary offices set up in the building down the road. It's just for the week. See you Monday." I wouldn't whine. Sure I wouldn't be in the same office, might not see all the same people, wouldn't be the most natural week for me with different parking situation and such, but I would still do my job. That is the benefit of guaranteed work. On the flip side my boss could say "the office is closed, you don't have to come in, we aren't paying you for this week. See you next Monday." and that would suck since I work to get Monday and I'd rather keep earning my money than having weeks of unpaid vacation time.[/quote]

This is not the same thing at all.  [/quote]

If you truly believe that all kids and families require the exact same type of nanny and that every family is interchangeable with every other family, then you clearly spend zero time with children.

Nanny's job is watching kids. MB is asking her to watch some kids nearby. It's exactly the same. It's surely not like the PPs post of your boss asking you to go work at McDonalds for a week. If nanny doesn't want to work, fine, just don't expect money. I hope MB takes some time to search for a new nanny while hers is enjoying this undeserved vacation.[/quote][/quote]

I've been a nanny for a decade and a half. It's not hard at all to care for different types of kids. [/quote]

Then you're doing it wrong.  It is a completely different experience to work with kids with whom you have an established relationship, who know and trust you and with parents who trust your judgement and have a solid rapport with you than it is to walk into a random babysitting gig.  If you don't find those two scenarios different then you aren't a nanny, you are a sitter.  [/quote]
