She said she will be spending Thanksgiving with another boy friend of her if I can care for her son on that day. Emmm

“I had plans for Thanksgiving, and my contract says that Thanksgiving is a paid day off. If you are willing to pay double time for me to work at your home, I will be available from x to y time. If I can’t leave on time, my hourly rate will jump to triple. That is in addition to my contracted holiday pay.”

If I’m supposed to have Thanksgiving off paid, I’d remind that I’m still getting normal pay for that. Then, I’d double my rate for whatever hours I agreed to work, and it’d be triple pay if my employer wasn’t back on time.

For the sake of clarity, assume 8-6 and $20/hour. I would expect $200 for the day, as my contracted holiday pay. My double rate would be $40/hour, triple would be $60/hour. If I agreed to be there 8-noon and my employer was on time, I’d be paid $40*4hours=$160+$200=$360 for the day. If my employer was two hours later, it would be $60*2 hours=$120+$360=$480 for the day.

“I’m sorry, but I am not available on thanksgiving.” Then immediately start looking for a new position!

Pp here. 2 only applies if you’re supposed to have the holiday off.

1. I’m sorry you had a fight. I’m not comfortable calling your (ex)bf or having him come to my residence. I would suggest that you text him if you want to limit verbal contact. He can drop off Larlo’s clothes during my work hours at your home.

2. I don’t work out of my home, and it’s not childproofed. I had plans for Thanksgiving, but if you are willing to pay double time for me to work at your home, I will be available from x to y time. If I can’t leave on time, my hourly rate will jump to triple.

3. If you choose not to be alone on Thanksgiving, you have several options. Sharing my family’s Thanksgiving is not an option, nor is staying overnight at my house.

Great story OP
I'm goung to ask Jeff if he can open a nanny fiction forum.

Woah.

No way.

I feel sorry for the children who have a parent like that.

Sorry but this made me lol! Sorry, op! You’re in quite a pickle.

"Sorry MB, but I'm not comfortable getting involved in your dating life. I'm happy to watch the kids during my normal work hours."

Omg! You are being generous in your description.

Please, in the name of God, do not get involved with her drama! SAY NO!

My single-mom boss just called and asked if I can call her boyfriend. She want me to tell her boyfriend to bring all of her son clothing to my house because they had a fight three days ago. She also asked if she can stay a night at my place on Thanksgiving day.


What will I do? I am going to tell her I am NOT going to call her bf and she cannot spend Thanksgiving with me and my family. My boss is a bit coo coo..
