You're sure that's it and not that she has grading to do?


Doesn't really matter. MB signed a contract in which her nanny doesn't work when schools are closed. What she has to do on those same days are her concern, not her nanny's.

As a nanny your work agreement is all you have to protect you. When a parent makes it clear that they do not intend to abide by that agreement, YES that is a hill worth dying on. What is the point of the contract if she just lets them decide what they want to follow and what they want to ignore?


If this were a federal holiday or a scheduled school closing, I'd agree with you but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect her to go in on a day she was scheduled to work had there not been a snow storm.


Why, if her contract says that snow days follow the school closings??? Isn't that the whole point of having the policy?

Are you not tired of digging out snow and watching netflix?
I came in to work on Monday. MB was home but she was sick and DB had to work.

Another question OP... are you in your 20's?
Maybe it's a generational thing.


Yes, perhaps honoring contracts is a generational thing. How dare you OP, expecting a signed agreement to mean something! Obviously looking forward to a day off means you hate your charges, didn't you know.



If a nanny tried to pull this, say trying to ignore her contracted light housekeeping duties, you all would be calling her lazy and recommending she be fired. Hypocrites.

I am always amazed how many nannies on here seem to think work can only be done at an office or that it magically disappears if you just do not do it. If I do not do my work today it is still there tomorrow - nd then I am just further behind.

I'm amazed how you think a nanny should conform to your daily whims. Grow up already.


umm an MB's job is a "daily whim?"


And so is your grammar.


...what?

Are you kidding? Schools are always closed. They are awful judges of driving conditions.

If the roads are fine then why are the schools closed?
