MB wasn’t happy and we had to discuss what granteed hours meant.

She’s a nurse so they give her a guaranteed number of shifts but if she doesn’t go she doesn’t get paid.

Again, not relevant. No one asks her to go to a different hospital to make up a lost shift. Nannies are guaranteed hours they keep available to their employer.

Sounds like she’s having trouble affording a nanny. She should look into a nanny share or daycare.

But she's guaranteed a certain amount of time. You are available to work, she said it's not necessary.

"Yes, you have to pay me even if you don't need me. How your job works is irrelevant."

Sorry, OP. You could always recommend she talk to others with nannies, get confirmation

If so, working hours are working hours.

So you agree to go work at another company in extra hours, just because the bosses are friends?

There are tons of problems with this beyond MB's lack of regard. Discipline, expectations, schedule, etc. are different between families, even when parents are best friends. In order for it to work at all, it would need to be a former employer who recommended the nanny to current MB, but if that was the case, former MB would know not to do that.

That's a big NO- how did you handle it?

Yikes no no no. MB here. I would never even consider asking for this, much less assuming it's okay. You aren't an item to be loaned out - you're a person. That's just really odd.

The least your employer could have done was ask your permission first, which she obviously did not.

She has no right to “tell” you that you will be watching someone else’s kids w/out your consent.

This is just so wrong on so many levels.

Let her know you respectfully decline.

Do you have guaranteed hours?

If so, working hours are working hours.

I'm an MB and there's no way this situation is acceptable. Is OP's MB dumb? You don't loan out your nanny.
