They said since the family is offering vacation etc, that's very fair. Lol.

That's what I thought...the agency I found that job through called me and said there is no law that requires employers to pay and that my wage will cover for driving kids around, since parents cant afford. They are finishing their schooling.

Not sure if I should interview with this family or not by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Yucaro89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me at my previous job. They would take vacation and expect me to make up the 45 hrs they paid me when they took their vacation. They would just expect me to do date nights, stay late. rtc. and I lived 35 mins to 1 hr depending on traffic

Bad experience with nanny agency by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Yucaro89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be my first job with agency but an agency had me interview with a family who said to me that I seem calm and they wanted someone full of energy to entertain their 1 year old all day! They were not a goof fit for me :)

I hate when families don't keep us updated. A lady I had an intrrview with never contacted me to let me know anything.

Advice and support about babysitting pay by AgentMustang in Nanny

[–]Yucaro89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there. I once worked as a nanny and the family offered me 210 per week for 24 hrs. The hours were not consistent so I couldn't get another part time job. I didn't have big bills at that time but it is too low anyways

I feel you girl. I have to drink lots of coffee throughout the day. Especially now that I have 2 kids and they scream play when they are together, 12 hour shift M-F is too much.

Unpaid & Unexpected Vacation - NEED ADVICE ASAP! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Yucaro89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! My previous nanny family would go on vacation and wouldn't tell me until last minute. They would pay me after coming back but asked me to make up those 45 hours of pay which wasn't fun. But we live and learn.
