[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They NEED to state up front then that they need a nanny who basically has no life outside of work. I actually saw ad to this affect recently. They need to state up front if they consistently need someone more than the stated 50 hours per week. Also, if they want flexibility, then they need to be willing to offer it in return. I don't get that from them. [/quote]

I agree with everything you said here EXCEPT that if they require flexibility that they need to be willing to give you flexibility as well. I don't agree with that. Of course as a nanny I would appreciate any flexibility that my bosses give me but I would never expect it. [/quote]

No. It needs to go BOTH ways. I may end up being 5 to 10 minutes every once in a while, and I should expect flexibility for that. Like when the weather is really bad, even when I leave my house earlier, I might still be a little late. Yet I shouldn't have to feel like it's a big deal if I am going to give them flexibility too. Their issue is that it's becoming a weekly occurrence. If I was late even once per week, I'd probably get fired.  [/quote]

I agree with this. I have worked for my bosses for over a year and been 10 minutes late ONCE and am usually 10-15 minutes early. They nearly had a cow when I was late but they are late 2-3 times a week and I greet them with a smile and don't bitch about it. If they expect flexibility they should be so in return. [/quote]
