[quote=Anonymous]I am 19:50 pp.  Okay, I re-read, and realized it is two children, not 3.  Sorry.  It doesn't really make a difference.  In any case, they agreed on pay, duties and times, and MB should be fine with that.  She agreed, after all.  If, in retrospect, she wishes she had asked for more duties, later/more flexible leave time, less pay, for gas to be paid by the nanny, etc., she has to deal with it from there, not hold it against the nanny.

*Many people are freaking out over Nanny's part in this, and there are definitely some things she did wrong (as I said before).  However, I hardly see mention of MB breaking the agreement already, coming back and saying they aren't paying for gas separately.  That is big.  So while Nanny didn't come across as professional and serious as she could, MB did not either.  Bosses of nannies have obligations as well, and that is to be clear during the agreement phase, and not go back on parts of the agreement in the first week.  That shows that they themselves are serious about the agreement with Nanny as well, shows they respect her and the boundaries they agreed upon.  Seems like both sides could have done better.

I have worked for some [i]amazing[/i] bosses, seriously.  Simply wonderful people.  In fact, most of them have been at least good, if not great.  None of them (except the couple crappy ones) would have ever changed my pay (like about the gas) after the fact, held it against me what *they* agreed to pay, held it against me that I didn't read their minds, or held it against me that I actually expected to leave work when I was told I get off work.
