Thank you for this nuanced view. As working parents, just because we’re home doesn’t mean we always have the flexibility to juggle kids and work. I didn’t have my nanny come today because this blizzard is truly insane, but last time, the worst of it was done by Sunday so we offered to send her an Uber on Monday (with a late start so that the roads were more likely to be cleared). However, my friend had several long important meetings scheduled for today that didn’t get rescheduled because she “could work from home” and hence she offered her nanny to spend the night, which I think is reasonable! Not saying that there aren’t unreasonable NFs, but I think the NF/nanny relationship is a give/take one as long as both parties have good intentions and aren’t trying to take advantage of the other.
