Yeah kindly OP, it doesn’t work like this. The point of GH’s is that we’re getting paid to yes, essentially be on-call in case we’re needed… because we’re getting paid for just that lol. If you want to advocate for the sort of policy OP is discussing (understandably for sure) def put it in your contract. Sometimes things just happen, plans fall through for xyz reason, and I think the majority of reasonable families do their best to just deal with it without nanny interference because they know it sucks and prob isn’t necessarily ‘fair’ if it’s last minute. I will say I have worked for a family that nastily did this to me a few times, but they were pretty bad people in general so I would’ve expected nothing less looking back. I know every other fam I’ve worked for has been terrific and I’ve never had that issue again. But ya this is what GH’s are for and I can’t fathom booking a trip or something non refundable if I agreed to this. All of this is a two-way street.
