[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Years Eve is not a holiday!!![/quote]

It's not a holiday by law, but it is a common holiday that is celebrated world wide. People's activities start at any point throughout the afternoon/evening. While it is not technically a "holiday" or always given as a day off from people's work, it is considered to be one, just as much as NY day itself. Most people have no plans for the daytime holiday, just resting and relaxing after celebrating the night before.

Since it is an "annual event" that many partake in, people are willing to pay more for the chance to leave their kids with someone they trust for the night, while they go have fun sans kids. If NYE doesn't mean anything or enough for people to think that a nanny is justified charging a higher rate, then the parties that night aren't anything special either and the parents could change their plans and go out the night of the 2nd instead and only be charged regular rates.

Any time the demand of one evening is so big and where there is a shorter supply of sitters available to work, it means rates can go up (supply and demand). Isn't that what the parents are always saying about a regular nanny's rate being based on the market and when there are tons of nannies out there needing work and willing to take lower rates, that the families are justified in paying lower rates then? Well the opposite is also true then.[/quote]

+ a million!

The parents on here are so hypocritical sometimes![/quote]
