[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My concern is that there is a (small) risk for your child in the after school activity.   Ie - if there is an emergency, is this nanny not available to come and get her.  I see exactly why you want to wait two months and just take it out of the bonus, but this is putting your young child in a potentially difficult position.  [/quote]
I don't get what you're talking about.[/quote]

If the child in the after school activity becomes ill, persumably MB would ask the nanny to drop the housework and pick up the child.  Or the activity could get canceled last minute. Any number of things could happen that would require an adult to come and pick up the child early.

Since the nanny is apparently working elsewhere, she is therefore actually not available to pick up the child early in the event of an emergency.  Like I said, its unlikely, but I personally would not want to put my child at risk in this situation.  I work 30 mins away from the house/school and cannot get there quickly if needed.  [/quote]

I posted a +1 to nannydeb's post, and stand by it, but I don't think your argument is convincing. If I were double booking one childcare job and one cleaning job, I would go into it with the understanding that I would miss my cleaning job if I was required elsewhere. In no way do I believe this nanny would have (or would now) refuse to pick up a child in an emergency because she was cleaning someone else's house.[/quote]
