ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I don't think this is the appropriate place to be asking your question, you should have sent it in properly. But since you've asked, I have a question for you. Is this your first nanny job? If not, you should already know to always have a contract that outlines all this stuff. It is the #1 nanny rule. "I don't know how to bring it up" is absolutely no excuse. You just say it. Present it as a "new year, new start" sort of thing. If they don't go for it, quit. You are a professional, time to get a professional job. No self-respecting nanny would work for more than a year without any vacation pay or let their family take a vacation and not pay them. Did you even ask them for your paycheck? It isn't YOUR vacation nor was it your choice to not work.

ReplyDeleteWith the start of 2012 maybe time to look for another position.
ReplyDeleteIt might be too late to write up a contract since you have been with them a year already, but you can always try.
ReplyDeleteI think it is rude for them to go away and not pay you. It's not like your rent or electric bills go on vacation with them, plus don't you need to eat as well?? Sheesh.
Happy New Year OP.
I appreciate those that left advice but I will Publish her Question to the Blog so other Readers can also help.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, MissMannah and Jedd... this wasn't the place.
Hijacking threads is a little pet peeve of mine. ;-)
