I think ours babysits off and on for others. Good for her. We pay decently, but even so, everyone should have the opportunity for a side hustle as long as it doesn't interfere with their main gig. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465781 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:31:37 +0000 winniebee 2465781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: if she's salaried and not watching the kids during the day maybe they were afraid she would babysit for the other kids on their dime? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465722 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:06:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2465722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think for this specific nanny, the kids were in school. And she wanted to help fill in at daycare when their numbers were low, while the kids were at school and the parents said no. And then made her agree that she can't babysit for other kids either on weekends, evenings and such that she wasn't working. They basically wanted her to be available to them only, 24/7!</p> <p>The nanny used to work at my daycare as a lead teacher and the parents "poached" her. ;)</p> <p>I think there's a difference between s/he wouldn't have time to do much else versus expliciting stating they can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465707 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:59:47 +0000 Anagram 2465707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new nanny watches a little boy on Saturdays. She works for us 8-5 Monday-Friday, so it would be hard for her to do much else. She does get paid vacation and sick leave from us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465694 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:56:52 +0000 winniebee 2465694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours only works for us but she's 30 hours and free to do what she wants on her own time. She's paid vacation and sons sick but no health insurance. I think the reality is if your nanny is full time and sAlaried there's no time for them to work for anyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465687 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:53:41 +0000 schubr03 2465687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: can I apply for that position please? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-nannies#post-2465679 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:50:42 +0000 regberadaisy 2465679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you use a nanny for full time childcare, is s/he exclusive to you?</p> <p>I know parents that make their nanny sign contracts that they are not allowed to nanny for other families. Not even to babysit during their off hours! They want their kids to literally be the only kids they watch. But with that comes a very nice paycheck, a car for her to drive exclusively, health benefits, paid vacation time etc. Pretty sweet set up! ;)</p> <p>ETA: I am just curious if this is a common setup for FT nanny contracts. </p>
