[quote=Anonymous]Another career nanny here.  I would never agree to a guaranteed minimum number of hours.  I agree to be available for a specific schedule and to be paid for that specific schedule.  If NF were traveling and wanted me to adjust my hours that week with no additional pay, I would agree IF I were given readonable notice (at least 2 weeks) and IF I did not have to cancel or rearrange other plans to meet those hours.  I would not expect to be paid overtime.

It sounds to me like you and nanny both failed to communicate in a timely and effective manner.  Yes, you shouldnhabe clarified this sooner, but she also could have asked when you told her about the vacation/working on Thursday what you were thinking in terms of pay.  If she had plans on Thursday she needed to cancel she could have said no to the schedule change.

Overall, it aounds like she is nit-picking a bit here and not working to clarify and build good communication, which says that she may be unhappy with the job overall.  I would take a step back and see if she is getting burnt out and/or resentful.  If you need to replace her, better to do it well in advance of a new baby.[/quote]
