[quote=Anonymous]Another nanny and the above poster is exactly right.  You are essentially asking her to be available during her working hours AND flexible to stay later but only guaranteeing the base hours.  So she can’t plan anything after work because at any time you could declare “actually we don’t need you on Tuesday but we need you twice as long on Thursday.”

I am sure from your perspective you are thinking “I wouldn’t do that!  I am reasonable!”  But nannies know there are lots of unreasonable bosses and we are not going to take the risk accepting a job with a contract that could so easily go south.  ESPECIALLY for a part time job because a) those are in high demand so we have lots of offers and b) a part time nanny is looking for something with consistent hours so she can plan the rest of her life bc that won’t be her sole source of income.

In your situation, I would either just have her work on the minor holidays and use that time to get errands or chores or household projects done, or I would just give it as PTO and either way you have to pay any extra hours as extra hours.[/quote]
