[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I don't understand, most of you are experienced nannies right? Put snow / weather precautions in the contract. We follow the Fed Govt closing schedule (although I do not work for the govt). If the govt deems it not safe enough to travel, I am not going to ask my nanny to travel. She gets guaranteed hours, so she gets paid the same amount whether the govt closes down, has a two hour delay, etc. My nanny has almost 20yrs of experience and expects nothing less, and I as a decent human being would not offer anything less. Thursday was a decent size snow storm, its just not right to expect someone to travel home with the way the streets looked at 5pm.

I am a professional and my job fully understands when I have to shift some meetings for work because we have a snow day (most of my team does not work in DC) but they see the news.[/quote]

Us professional nannies aren't afraid of snow, we don't need to write snow days into the contract because we will work. We are hired to do a job and provide a service and peace of mind and we are proud of that and the job we do so we make the effort to get to work.[/quote]
