[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would normally say no,

but you are a student and they occasionally let you leave early.
So they are giving you flexibility, but you can't be flexible for them- that's how they will see it.
Also, they are paying you for a full week when I'm sure your "tasks" won't take up a full 40+ hours.

They will probably look for a new nanny.
I would pick them up.[/quote]

They knew I was a student from the very start, I gave them a list of days I would need off. No where in my contract does it say I’m a chauffeur.[/quote]

Boy oh boy. You will understand the parents once you have two kids and are in a position to be hiring a nanny. Be flexible and just go pick them up. If you start exercising your rights when they also give you flexibility, you are not understanding the power imbalance of the situation of employer and employee. Plus what kind of people hire nannies (they value convenience and saving time over spending additional $) [/quote]

They have been flexible to me but I have not taken advantage of them as I feel they are to me. I’m really tired of saying this but going to pick them up isn’t even the point...it’s the fact that they didn’t even ask me. And I’m not here for convenience. It’s their problem not mine to go to the airport. I’m not here to save them time or money. I’m here as a nanny to care for there children. And sure they’ve been flexible to me, and I have been in situations where they need me to come in earlier or stay late (as I have done it). But telling someone to do someone without consulting with them first, is not acceptable. it’s not about being flexible. It’s about having respect for your employee. [/quote]
