[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OMG, if I, as a nanny, were about to be given an indefinite amount of unpaid leave I would JUMP at this opportunity. This is not offensive to nannies at all, it is actually really helpful and could potentially save one who is about to be in dire financial straits.

Of course the MB would want to talk to the other MB first - to make sure their needs are coordinated since obviously the nanny's employer would want first dibs on her time as soon as they needed her back, but do any of you honestly think the nanny wouldn't also be consulted?! In what world?

This is the insulting part, since you don't get it. It is NOT the MBs decision as to whether or not a job is a good fit for her nanny. If you lay your nanny off during this shutdown, that is your right, but it is HER right to decide whether or not she wants to work with you on coordinating something so she would be available when the shutdown is over. This post wasn't looking out for out of work nannies, give me a fucking break. It was written for the MBs who don't want to/can't pay their nanny, but want to ensure she is still there when all is said and done. It was self serving, and insulting. It would have been perfectly fine and appreciated had OP addressed the NANNIES she would be hiring.[/quote]

So dramatic. You don't like it, say no!

But if you do say no, make sure you aren't one of the nannies here who goes on and on about how very special the nanny relationship is and how MBs have to be concerned about the nanny's personal budget and how so completely outrageous it is if a family needs to lay off a nanny.

You don't get it both ways. This OP was trying to look out for the negative effects of a furlough on a nanny who may want to keep her job by offering a short term alternative. You can find that insulting and pretend it is about something that it's not (you seriously believe a nanny would have no say in the situation?) but don't go around complaining when MBs rightly remind the whining nannies around here that they are employees, not family members.[/quote]
Did you know that nannies come in all sizes, just like you do![/quote]
