Man Thinks He’s In The Right Just Because He Pays His Nanny More, Internet Gives Him A Reality Check
Raising a child is incredibly exhausting, no matter how much you love being a parent. For that reason, being able to hire a nanny for some extra help can be a real lifesaver. But just how much should they actually be expected to take on?
One couple brought their nanny along on vacation and expected her to work every single day for a week straight. So when she asked for just one evening off, they flat-out refused and insisted she stick to their agreement. The internet, however, had a serious reality check ready for them.

So, guy gives Nanny no days off, but takes kids an average of 5 hours/day. So, that means she's generally on duty day in, day out 19 hrs/day for 7days/week (133hour workweek). He says he doubled her daily rate, effectively paying her 16 hours/day but not noticing the 3hrs/day discrepancy nor the lack of actual overtime pay. Guy doesn't realize he should have hired TWO nannies despite his 'clearly expressed expectations.'

I don't think those sums really make sense, nor is the pay really the point of this. What's not clear is the exact terms of her employment, but in civilised places where rules exist for employee rights she would have been entitled to breaks during the day and time off, during a limited maximum-hour working week. So regardless of whether she was well paid or not, there should have been a contract or agreement giving her the absolute right to at least a full day off per week.
