[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by how many people say that you should put your sister in an Uber. The nanny family told you no late nights, but then spring late nights on you. If they have jobs that required flexibility, they should have made finding that a priority. They did not. They are taking advantage of you. You not being able to stay may be an issue but it is their fault for not being honest about their needs and PLEASE make sure you are getting time and a half for overtime hours. [/quote]

People are saying this because it is not unusual for nannies to be asked to stay late occasionally, and her parents have put a responsibility with a hard deadline on her that now affects her job.

She sounds young and like she has a lot of trouble with any kind of confrontation, which means she wants to please everyone.[/quote]

Op here. I am young and I do have problem with confrontation. I know many nannies stay late and I used to be the one who would always be able to stay late since I had no other responsibilities. However, I see now how they truly don’t respect my time. About 99% of the time I’m asked to stay late it’s always about 5-10 minutes before I’m supposed to leave. Very rarely do they ask me 3-4 hours before I leave. They have also never asked me a day before. I’m just really conflicted because I hve been extremely flexible. I’m hoping picking up my sister is short term because she doesn’t plan to drive but even then she’ll need to wait at least 6 months [/quote]
