[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THat is fine. Nanny contract should stipulate exactly what days are off.  We don't get fed holidays off at all so need our nanny.   If you are taking a day off to get some personal business done, so what. That is irrelevant to the nanny, whom you are paying for.

BTW, people seem to be complaining about MB or DB being in the house.  Wonder how they handled when MB was home on maternity leave?[/quote]

I don't work with infants under 6 months, so I'm never there for maternity leave.  I don't have an issue with SAHPs, as long as they understand that it's not good to constantly disrupt the kids' schedules.[/quote]
Your charge might have a younger sibling so MB will be home on maternity leave.[/quote]

No, I don't work when there are any children under 6 months.  Period.  All of my families understand that, and I've never had a problem with that.  Additionally, I like big families, so I look for parents who have all the kids they can handle (or more) and won't be having more.[/quote]
Does it mean you hand in your notice if MB gets pregnant?[/quote]

I make it absolutely clear during interviews that I will help find a new nanny if MB finds herself pregnant, and that I am quite willing to stay until the baby comes home from the hospital.  But yes, all my employers know that I don't work with tiny infants.  I did once, and got stuck with 24/7 care of a colicky boy with reflux along with the three older children for the 40-60 hours a week, for the same salary that I had been previously paid.  Not happening again.[/quote]
