[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny in the area and did call out today because when I woke up there was already 2 inches of snow on the ground. I have a smaller care which slides a lot in the snow. My employers completely understood and had no problems with giving me the PAID day off. Around 12:30 the roads were fine so I offered to come in for a few hours and at least give them a break, but they did not need me.

In my opinion she should have offered to come for the half day. If my employers had offered to bring their child to my home or to pick me up in their SUV I would have been happy with either, I even told them that.

You need to implement a snow day policy. One that has worked for me in the past is giving 2-3 paid snow days then anything after is either not paid or paid, but hours made up on weekends or holidays.

There are people uncomfortable driving in this kind of weather and no one should have to put their life at risk for a job.

To the person who said their nanny should have spent the night: that is completely inconsiderate of you to even think that, your nanny is a person just like you. She/he has things that need to be done in their home and shouldn't HAVE to spend the night in your home because of the weather. [/quote]
