[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then when they get sick, have a snow day or there is early release I will politely let you know I’m in yoga, getting a manicure or babysitting and won’t be finished until it’s dismissal and my regularly scheduled time.

[b]Parents really want to only pay  for “on” hours yet want availability or catch attitudes when you say you can’t? BYE[/quote][/b]

Are parent's really catching attitudes?  Parents- do you really get upset if your nanny can't make it?  I find most people to be understanding. [/quote]

Not at all.  We pay our nanny for some days while our kids are at school to do stuff around the house (grocery, laundry, etc.) - HER CHOICE, but there are some mornings she has off.  Last Friday, for example, she was only supposed to pick them up at 12:30.  Their school lost power and was closed, but she had a doctor's appointment, so she just came after that at 11 and we stayed home with the kids until then.  I would never have asked her to cancel her appointment, and certainly didn't react poorly when she told me she had that and therefore couldn't be there until 11.  Same with if she had had a social engagement with a friend.  I get it - she has a life.  But of course we pay her for all time spent working for us (in the house or outside of it), so on a snow day or something, she gets paid for more hours.  But if she doesn't work, then she doesn't.  However, we did give her an hourly raise to mostly compensate for the fact that she'd be working less hours every week once school started.[/quote]
