Nanny childcare is usually flexible if there is good communication and relationships.[/quote]\

Wrong.  BIG PROBLEM.  I am not a "flexible nanny" and never billed myself as such.  I am never late for work, never have called in sick or asked for time off.  My employers honor the schedule they set and so do I.

Asking for "favors" breaks down the communication and relationship between employer and employee.

You are 100% WRONG here, PP.   [/quote]

If I usually show up at 8am to greet MB, since DB leaves at 7am, and MB has a 6am flight, I show up at 7am when needed. BFD.

Likewise, when I have an appointment that can only happen on weekdays, I try to do it first thing or last thing of the day so MB or DB doesn't miss more work than necessary. [/quote]

This is your arrangement, and you seem okay with it. That doesn't change the fact that it is NOT OP's arrangement, and it would be inappropriate to ask because the nanny would undoubtedly feel backed into a corner to agree to something she never intended to do. It is said over and over on here that if nannies want guaranteed hours it must be discussed up front, and we are cautioned against trying to renegotiate mid contract. Stop being hypocrites! OP has an agreement and can't change the rules on the fly. [/quote]
