[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Thursday’s are her short days, then I can see how she would expect to get paid “extra” for those additional hours.  You should be consistent (or give ample notice) with protocol after returning from vacation.  So, if you travel M-W then Nanny is required to work a full day Th-F.  Or still give her the option to work longer, but she can declined and still get paid her weekly salary as that’s what guaranteed hours mean (you get paid regardless if the family uses your services or not).

Exactly.

She was available m-w.  You could asked her to come in and do your kid’s laundry.  She could have sorted and sanitized toys.  She could have pulled outgrown or damaged clothing for garbage/donation.  She could have prepped food for Thursday/Friday.  You don’t get to ask for her to switch hours without paying for those hours and giving plenty of notice.

When nannies don’t work at least a part of a weekday every single week, we try to schedule appointments, errands, gym in that time slot.  Many of us work 45-60 hours per week, because we cover our employers’ commutes.  We know why, it’s part of our job.  But when we have a break in our schedule, we make it work.[/quote]
