[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put in our nanny's contract that they get two weeks of paid vacation per year - one week at their choosing (that they need to let us know at least one month in advance) and one week at our choosing.

Often times when we are on vacation and our nanny technically isn't, we ask them to go to our house to get mail, water plants, etc. Sometimes we have repair work done when we're not there so we want the nanny to meet those people, etc.[/quote]

Nanny here - i don’t get the outrage at this comment... one week of nanny’s choosing and one of the family’s is pretty standard. Asking for some small tasks when she’s not on the week of her choosing (even non-child-related) is pretty much like every job I’ve ever had and I don’t know many nannies that have guaranteed hours that don’t water plants and fetch mail on occasion... we just consider ourselves lucky to have paid vacation at all.

Me! All my employers have respected my profession and time. This totally unacceptable. That’s an example of nickeling and dimining—an example of “my money’s worth. It’s very disrespectful and I wouldn’t work with people like that. I very much expect to either to provided services of childcare or paid for my guaranteed time to be available when they arrive back. Some of you blow my mind!![/quote]
