[quote=Anonymous][quote]Because it never goes both ways. Employers want to be rigidly by the book when it suits them. "I'm only following the contract!", you say. But if a nanny is rigid about the contract, she's labeled a inflexible and doesn't go above and beyond. The double standard is ridiculous. You have no foot to stand on, PP, unless you pay your nanny for every minute she's on the clock including the time she spends updating you after you've come home. You have no foot to stand on, unless you have never expected your nanny to step out of her contracted duties. If you'd secretly be salty if your beloved nanny stopped doing the little extras she does for you, you have NO ROOM TO TALK. Positive and flexible relationships are built on give and take. If you can't find it within yourself to give your nanny a break occasionally when it doesn't hurt you at all, you are in a take take take relationship, which is bound to fall apart. Just as you occasionally enjoy a day to "get things done" or simply relax, don't you think your nanny would appreciate one as well? Asshole.[/quote]

NP here and wow, you are one angry nanny. You make a ton of assumptions, call people names, and expect to get random paid days off because you don't like an employer expecting you to work as scheduled.

No wonder nannies here have such a bad reputation.[/quote]
