[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  You cannot pretend that a nanny is different than a babysitter with the above reasoning. [b] I would be offended if our nanny tried to charge more for caring for my child on NYE than her normal rate. [/b] And I do feel that her first obligation is to us on holidays like Valentines Day and NYE.  However, if I didn't need her on those nights, I would have no issue with her taking any side or moonlighting job as a babysitter, bartender, waitress - whatever.

Luckily, we have an experienced older nanny who is paid a solid, competitive living wage and she doesn't need (or want) any side jobs.  [/quote]

You are a nut job. Unless NYE falls within her working hours, the way in which your nanny chooses to spend her NYE is at her discretion. Whether that’s going out, staying home, or working for another family at a better rate, it’s up to her. You’re just mad because you know that if you had to resort to the free market, you’d be paying way more than you pay her, since during NYE, babysitting is at a premium. [/quote]
