[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiring a Personal Nanny is the most expensive form of childcare out there.

Bar none.

[b]The reasons why are that the family does not have to wake their child up early in order to drop them off somewhere else.
And if they are stuck in traffic on the way home, they don’t have to be penalized for being late[/b].

The child benefits by receiving personal, one-on-one attention + care.
They also get the luxury of napping in their own bed, eating their own food as well as playing w/their own toys. :)

The biggest benefit is that they are not exposed on a daily basis to unwanted germs.

I find paying the extra dollars is a great investment in your child.

So you’re the parent who doesn’t pay nanny when you’re late?! [/quote]

Being penalized is not the same as not paying.  And since some nannies are paid to be available, no they aren’t paid extra when the parent is late.[/quote]

NP here. Legally, nannies are hourly employees and must be paid for every minute they are working, which certainly includes the times that you are late. Equally important, we are paid to be available for our scheduled shifts, but at your beck and call!  Your attitude is insane. [/quote]

I’m paid to be available 24/5, so when a parent is late, I’m not paid extra.  I don’t think that’s insane at all.  Neither parent has to worry about running out the door during a meeting or losing their nanny,  or do they have to scramble to find childcare when their nanny says no to covering travel.  It works for us :)[/quote]

That is your regular shift, very different than just expecting that the nanny can stay late randomly without any thought to her schedule. Certainly you’re not too dense to understand that. [/quote]
