[quote=Anonymous]The person who thinks that these are acceptable conditions to work under is free to negotiate her own contract with these stipulations. No one should work under conditions that they didn't agree to. This is crucial in a field where you are not protected by a union (and don't benefit from collective bargaining or have a watertight contract, or representation), don't have coworkers, and are not protected under most federal labor regulations. As a nanny you are in a vulnerable position in someone else's home, usually working for a family of a higher socioeconomic status than you and frequently someone who speaks the native language, is a citizen, etc when that is not the case for the employee. If you don't think that it is important for these people to be able to advocate for themselves, their dignity, and their working conditions-then I have no words. An agency is supposed to bridge that gap and wield power behind the nannies they represent, not threaten them. [/quote]
