[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many nannies actually asked their employers to be paid early. I am in Chicago and I have never heard of such an act being done. I am not saying that there aren't any nannies out there doing it, but do you think that they are asking on weekly basis? Either way it is unprofessional on both ends no matter how many times it is being asked.[/quote]

I'm the OP of that comment. I actually meant it to be an argument against the practice of MBs expecting nannies to cover expenses.
I recall a few posts from nannies asking about pay advances or accidentally charging personal items on MB's credit card.  Most of the MBs were recommending firing for these offenses.  These nannies were called unprofessional, unreliable and were also considered to be capable of theft.
So now we have MBs who are saying, "but it's just a gallon of milk and bread. You're being petty.  You're not trying to help your poor, busy overworked boss." Why is it considered shady and unprofessional when a nanny does it yet it's "just a gallon of milk and some bread" when it comes to MBs?

There was actually only one MB who said it was ok to expect the nanny to front the money. I'm an MB and I don't think it's ok and I also don't think it's ok to ask for pay in advance. So no double standard here. [/quote]

Yep, just one MB said she expected her nanny to be fine with fronting $5 for the day and that she always paid her back promptly. [/quote]

Just because only one on this thread admitted to doing so does not mean that it doesn't happen ALL THE TIME. Why would the nannies here be making this up? Some of you MBs are really touchy...and have a hard time with logic. [/quote]
