I think the next time you are...I agree with Corina. I think the next time you are invited to one of these events I would ask if it is as a guest or as a nanny, because while you were happy to attend and support the family at past events, you ended up working rather than being part of the celebration. Then say you are happy to do either, but if they wish for you to work (including helping their friends) you will charge your usual rate. If the event requires you to go out of town and stay with them in a hotel or something over night, I would negotiate for them to pay all travel expenses and a flat daily travel rate. <br /><br />Do you have a contract with the family? If so, I would consider adding a travel section to spell out your travel rates and requirements.<br /><br />For more advice on contracting or travel agreements feel free to contact us or check out our nanny blog at adventurenannies.comAdventure Nannieshttp://adventurenannies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-66477834787541098152016-01-22T13:44:03.611-05:002016-01-22T13:44:03.611-05:00I totally agree...be straigh..ask them if you will...I totally agree...be straigh..ask them if you will be compensated otherwise just tell them that u have your own commitments for the weekendelay you are not available..Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-36685382620830613192016-01-22T09:46:17.961-05:002016-01-22T09:46:17.961-05:00OP you need to separate work from their outside ac...OP you need to separate work from their outside activities. This is their family, their friends. Not yours. If they want you to attend. Ask straight out if you are going to be a guest or running around with kids. If they look shocked tell them what you told us. You believed you were going to be a guest not working. On a side note that's really rude of their friends to ask for help with their kids during the party. When I attended events as a guest I was treated as such. Plus I had my own son to look after.
