Because this is a temp situation, you really don't have much bargaining room.


Well actually, since its a temp job, it's probably going to hurt the family more than the nanny if the arrangement fails. Temp positions are hard to fill to begin with, and get harder the shorter the temp job.

Exactly.

OP said she could come in. That mb just wanted to save some money and not disappoint the grandma that she wasnt needed anymore. It was an ear infection not the stomach flu or strep. you should've been paid since you have 40 GH per week. this has nothing to do with sick days
