[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you poor nannies do if you ever had another job besides being a nanny where they expected you to show up even if it were snowing out.   Oh the horrors of being expected to show up for your JOB.   [/quote]

You're missing the point. If boss doesn't go to work...nanny shouldn't go to work. BE A PARENT AND GO OUT IN THE SNOW WITH YOUR KIDS. They're ecstatic that they get a snow day with mom and dad.

No, YOU are missing the point.  When did it become mandatory that a nanny should not have to work just because a parent is home?  It does not matter what the parent does during that time because they have paid you to be there.  You are there to take care of the children.  That is you job.  [/quote]

It goes both ways. There are benefits to being a nanny that MBs whine about as well. My work day ends when it ends. I'm not staying up late to meet deadlines, and I'm not making up hours so you can. My work can't be done at home, so if I can't get in because of the weather, I stay dry and safe at home, and yes I expect to be paid. Its one of the few trade offs to to the all around crappy pay and benefits we get. You make lots more money, guess what? Your job is gonna suck sometimes. That's why they pay you so much. [/quote]
