[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My concern is what I seem to hear too much of: 
Parents who renig on their responsibilities, both as parents and as employers. Those who can't say "no" to their children, and oops, forgot your paycheck this week. The nanny has an inherent expectation, that she will not be the only adult to care about your child's successful development. She expects parents to engage in their role as parents, not just being friends with the kids. If you look around, you'll see what I mean. [/quote]

With the exception of the paycheck example, this isn't a contractual or work agreement issue, it is an interviewing/finding the right fit issue. Professional nannies tend not to judge the parents or at least see it as one of their core responsibilities not to be so rigid in their own beliefs of how to engage kids as to follow and respect their employers. Some parents are strict and some are laid back. Some parents give their kids lots of material things and others do not. Neither approach is inherently right or wrong but a parenting choice which they have the right to make. As an employee, you can choose to only work with parents who follow your beliefs but you are incorrect in assuming one way is wrong or right. You also will be limiting your job opportunities. If you choose to do this then you need to engage your potential employers in a longer conversation when you interview. This isn't an issue that can be managed via a contract or work agreement.
