[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. I would go. My kid had these appointments and they are fine, you just play in the room while they get a small dose every 30 minutes. Your job is to engage. You are engaging with the baby, just not in the usual environment.

If I were the mom and you couldn’t come to be an extra set of hands I would start looking for a new nanny. If you refuse to go, don’t expect her to be nice and flexible when you need time off, since she’ll have to miss half a day of work for each appointment. [/quote]

Environments like yours are what’s unhealthy for an in home employee. Asking a lot while paying very little. The Nannie’s that are calling OP lazy are classic “pick me” Nannie’s that do everything they’re told and still get fired. She did nothing wrong no means no especially if there are other children. OP stand firm on your choices but if I were you I’d stop doing tasks that aren’t in your contract even if you’re just trying to help because now the situation you’re stuck in is, it’s mandatory. Go into these nanny jobs with no feelings because these families have none. Someone actually said that the dad is working to pay the nanny true but it’s still his job to be a parent it’s not the Nanny’s job to manage an entire household on a nanny salary hire a governess or a household manager for that or pay her what one will make. The way some of you think is yuck.[/quote]

The discussion is about taking a child under your care during the day to a doctors appointment as the parents work, which is why they hired a nanny.  No one is asking them to take care of the family, they are being asked to take care of the kids they are in charge of.  I would terminate the nanny too.  I'd expect a nanny to help with medical appointments, as most cannot take that much time off work which is why you hire a nanny, do the kids laundry, keep the areas the kids are in during the day picked up, clean the kids rooms and do the laundry[/quote]

she said it's not in her contract so big fat NO! The moms because no man will be cackling like this on the internet, the moms on this thread and every thread on this platform says things they normally wouldn't say to their nanny so they get on here to let it all out. A nanny's job is to care for children, tidy their play rooms, engage, feedetc. Medical runs aren't mandatory and when I was hired by a very popular agency I was told doctors appointments, distributing medicines are better left for the parents to do. If it's in the contract  that they are responsible for drs appointments they can't fire her and if they do I hope she sues. [/quote]

Employees are at will.  You can be fired for any reason.  If the parents cannot keep their jobs because of the child's needs and the nany will not help, they will lose their job so common sense is to fire the nanny and hire a more willing one.[/quote]

What a silly thing to say, contracts are there for a reason. Attorney and a mom here, If it's not in the contract there's no such thing as "fire the nanny" she said they put in the contract they're responsible for Dr appointments so they're responsible that's it. Why is that so hard to understand? Our contract states all duties and responsibilities and if I need help with something outside of the contract I ask but I make sure our nanny knows it's ok to say no because it's not in the contract. Any corporation is like this, if it's not in the job description, contract, agreement etc, lawfully the employee can say no and if they get terminated, they can most definitely look into a breach of contract lawsuit. I've seen it happen many times especially with domestic workers. My advice to everyone on this post both parents and nannies is to make sure you know what you're signing and parents make sure you are clear with what you expect from your nanny because you can't come back later after a document is signed by both parties to change anything and or ask for additional duties. Nannies you have rights as well and if it's not in your contract if you don't agree and you get terminated seek legal counsel.[/quote]

The responsibility is child care and it’s not an unreasonable ask[/quote]

Child care does not include  medical appointments.[/quote]
