[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a MB, but I think a good litmus test is whether the task would be something reasonable to ask if the nanny was working a regular day. If it were the last day before we were going on vacation, and the dog kennel closed before we got home from work, I think it would be extremely reasonable to ask the nanny if she wouldn't mind driving the dogs over to the kennel. If she has an understandable objection to that, (it's a large dog and she has a small car... its a wild dog and a distraction to drive, etc) then that objection could still stand if the family is on vacation. However, OP seems mainly to objecting to the time the task would take, mainly because of her commute. Considering this is guaranteed pay, and not actual vacation, that doesn't seem like a reasonable objection.

Basically -asking the nanny to work less than 10-20% of her hours on a non PTO, paid week - extremely reasonable 
- confining tasks to those you would ask if she were working a regular week - also reasonable[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]
