[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]

Disagree completely. OP, if they become upset or hostile I would look for a new job. If they knew your schedule ahead of time and were ok with it then it’s irrelevent to this situation. You being flexible would be staying late or coming in early if they asked. Telling you to drop them off and pick them up is something that a professional NF would not ask when they actually understand the employer/employee relationship. [/quote]
