[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for all the piling on OP. It is entirely understandable the miscommunication that occurred. The confusing part is that nannies are effectively salaried with guaranteed hours but they do not and cannot work like a salaried employee who figures that their time balances out over weeks/months.

It is tough to learn all the common protocols which at times are a bit counter intuitive with the legal requirements too. [/quote]

And on that note, it will vary with the individual!! Our last nanny totally worked to make up hours when we gave her paid time off beyond her earned vacation. The amount of time you are asking about is significant... It's not a couple of hours, it is 27! Try to work something out. She should at least be willing to have a conversation about it. You have a great agreement in principle, but there will always be unexpected situations that need to be addressed. If you can't have open communication with her, I would say that is a problem.
