I do not know about the other lawyers on this thread, but at my billable rate and leverage factor, you would be looking at a bill of about $10,000 for me to have some fo the attorneys I supervise prepare a memo for you on the point, assuming of course that you are willing to take such a memo based on one of the three jurisdictions in which I am licensed to practice (although I would prefer to write on New York law since I have been barred there the longest and it has one of the most well developed bodies of countract law in the U.S.). Do you nanny for free? No? Then don't ask usto give you legal advice for free.

In typical shyster fashion, encourage the unsuspecting public to line your pockets as you pretend to do useful work.

In answer to your question, some professional nannies do offer pro bono services on occasion, just as some attorneys do.

Again, if there have ever been any nannies held liable for breach of contract, to pay damages for not completing the term of her agreement, surely someone on this forum would have heard of it. How ridiculous of you to request a tidy little sum of $10,000. to confirm common knowledge. You are an utter embarrassment to your profession, and a prime example of why so few of you can be trusted.

Yeesh, PP, you're very insulting and not very smart. You're asking a professional to do your "useful work" for free. This is work that requires a great deal of research and writing and is certainly worth its price tag, or you would be able to do that work yourself. [b]Show some respect for services you want and the people who can give those services. [/b][/quote]

Gee, I wonder if that includes nannies as well??? I'm not the PP, and I think she's wrong, but I had to point out the irony of that statement in a forum where the vitriol and disrespect toward nannies knows no bounds. [/quote]

I don't think I've ever seen vitriol and disrespect on this board for nannies as a group.  The vast majority of MBs who post here speak very highly of their nannies, pay them well, and make a true effort to treat them fairly or better.  I have seen plenty of vitriol and disrespect for a couple of specific nannies who repeatedly post ignorant, angry nonsense on this board.  They've earned it many times over.  Without question, most of the vitriol and anger on here is directed toward employers.[/quote]

Really? You've never noticed the constant digs about status, class, and education? You've never seen the sweeping accusations of entitlement, laziness, and stupidity? The word nanny used as an insult, ie. "you don't know what you're talking about nanny". Youve never noticed that any time there is a heated debate between an MB and a nanny that said MB will typically insult her intelligence, correct her grammar, and tell her to go back to school as though none of us are college educated? Or if a nanny complains about wages, she is told to get an education and a real job? Read through any of the most recent threads and I assure you its there. [/quote]
