SHAME on you.
Don't you care about your own child?
And the quality of care your child gets?
Hello, you get what you pay for.
There MAY be rare circumstances where this isn't the case. If you know of any, please share.
Calm down. This thread is about asking nannies what they prefer. There aren't any parents responding so quit bashing them.
+1. You don't even know if this was a parent who asked. AND this thread is 3 months old so why are you bringing up an old thread and bashing parents unnecessarily.

If they want or need me to work additional hours and I can do that then I will - at my OT rate.

Once a family makes clear that they aren't going to nickel and dime me, and that they are respectful of my time, there is more give and take in the actual accounting of hours, and I don't asked to be paid for every minute of OT, or I'll happily trade them a couple of hours here and there. (Ex. I couldn't make it in last Friday after the snow even though the government was open, but I'm working extra hours this week at my own choosing, to make up for it. I don't expect to be paid extra, and I know they aren't going to dock my pay or charge my vacation.
So basically what I'm saying is I will accept the "salary" route once I trust a family, but always go into a job as hourly with guaranteed hours.
This, exactly!
I always start with a guaranteed hours situation and slowly, as trust is established on both sides, I am more lenient with my nickle and diming. I have been lucky enough to have employers who respect my time and who don't take advantage of it. In return, if they are 10/15 minutes late once in a while, I am not going to demand to be paid down to the minute.

she didn't ask if it was legal, she asked what you would prefer. I'd prefer annual salary so long as there was a reasonable cap to the number of hours. easier tobudget and plan that way.Anonymous wrote:It's illegal for nannies to be salary

Just wondering what peoples' preferences are.
