[quote=Anonymous]It is TRUE that private schools, daycares and preschools charge the parents even if the child is too ill to attend. They may even charge holidays as well. I used to work at a school that charged parents per minute if they were late picking up their child after school.

This policy set in motion the philosophy that childcare workers are just that = Workers. We have our own family and domestic responsibilities and our time is just as valuable as any other working adult.

As a nanny, you CAN instill a cancellation policy. Just be prepared for the families to get offended. Why? The way you describe these families, they seem like they do not value your time very much and take you for granted. They expect you to be at their every beck + call and think nothing of what you lose when they cancel "last minute."

You deserve to be compensated if you are not needed. They need to give you at least a 24 hr notice...more if possible.
I would charge at least 1/2 of what you were supposed to make. Hey...you have to pay your light bill just like they do, right?????

These parents sound very self~entitled and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they act all offended and seek another nanny. One they can take for granted.

These parents suck.[/quote]
