[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not usually doing this type of job even though I've had extensive experience in looking after and babysitting children of all ages.  That has been the case all of my life and I just begun a new live-in position with a family as I had posted an open ad saying various jobs I would take.  I was moving from a temporary stay with a lady friend of mine and it was just time to leave  Therefore, when this lady contacted me saying she was interested to talk about a live-in nanny position we determined this may work for the both of us, even though I did mention temporary.  Long story with all of this,but my question is since I have not been a nanny before;when should I be allowed to leave to do something for myself or take an afternoon once in a while without feeling that she may call me at any point to say when are you coming back?  She runs out the door at anytime. That's fine.  I have specific things I need to take care of due to moving and some other personal errands of mine.  She has not asked me if I need to go out and take care of anything as if I am suppose to never leave.  I don't really get it.  I think I should be able to take a couple of hours here or there as I'm not asking for 2-3 days away or anything like that.  Is that too much to ask?  I just feel like she should know I probably have a thing or two I may need to do,but no. [/quote]

Are you paid to be available 24/7?  If not, what does your contract state for hours?  If you don’t have a contract, let your employer know that you need something in writing telling you what your hours, days and rate are.[/quote]
