[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I didn't know my question would evoke so much debate. For the record, I agreed to do it, because as others have pointed out I do believe you reap what you sow. That being said, when I interviewed with this family and their pay was a little less than what I was asking, part of the package was that this family takes a lot of trips and that I would be off (off-off, not running errands) when they were out of town. So I'm not lazy or entitled. I do hope MB takes notice that I am doing her a favor. [/quote] She doesn't. [/quote] And you know this how? :roll: [/quote] She's already conned you into going lower than your normal pay. She has already gone back on your original agreement. The only thing she cares about is that she says jump and you say how high. I can almost promise you will be back here in a matter of months complaining how your employers don't appreciate you. How you can't believe they won't give you that raise or the day off after all you've done for them.[/quote] You can't promise anything because you don't know this nanny's MB at all. She didn't tell her to pick up the dogs--she asked her. You are letting your bitterness with your own personal experience affect your advice. [/quote] Sweetheart I'm not bitter and this isn't my personal experience. I have employers that appreciate me and value me and that's not contingent on my dog sitting. This is just an old story go read through the threads here. Many asks should I do xyz for employers? The majority say yes. Doing those extras make you a better nanny and your employers will remember that 1111 All the naysayers are made out to bitter entitled nannies . Nanny agrees to do xyz Down the road nanny comes back posting I can't believe my employers ask for ABC. The responses are well you need to go the extra mile if you are a good nanny. Naysayer are selfish and lazy. Nanny fulfills request. Down the road Nanny comes back with I can't believe they won't give me a raise or allow me to be flexible with a day off after all the times I've gone above and beyond. Nanny debates quitting. Same old song and dance.[/quote]
