I would assume that yes, you would be doing it for work. However, they would understand that they can’t make you work the entire day. You would need your own break as well. I would have a discussion with them and ask them how many hours a day you will be needed.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just… Ask the employer?

Facebook can’t answer that question for you, smh.
You should ask them. If you are going to be responsible for them 24/7 then you need to be paid more.

I was a nanny in San diego for a family of 5 for 4 yrs. I was asked a few times to go on vacation with them, now they don’t usually ask me to go with them.
I asked will I be watching the kids to? And if so what is my wage be or an wage increase?
I was told no it’s a vacation no watching the kids. Well I ended up watching the kids due to the parents wanting to go out where kids weren’t allowed.
Or they wanted to go too dinner without the kids.
Got a $2000.00 bonus plus a pay raise.
But what sucks I didn’t really get to have a vacation.
I would talk to your employers first, and see what they expect, and make sure you get it in writing. That means the hours, the days off, the rate of pay, who’s paying for tickets, room, meals, etc.

Live in nanny or not I doubt you will be used 24/7 but I would still ask. My guess is you were asked because you are like family and in case they needed you they had you. Reliable trustworthy etc…
Probably should be asking them

All y’all rude people on here.
Anyways 
I think she is just trying to see different approaches she can take to the table.
I would just maybe say something like “I just want to know the expectations from me on the trip” or maybe “just to have a more clear understanding, are my hours still remaining the same?ect…?”
Something around that nature
Okay people, they said no bashing, seriously there is no need for some of you to act rude towards them.
I would think it would be normal time, otherwise I personally feel like they would have told you up front the difference in your schedule if you were to go with them. But yes, ask them just to be sure, I’m sure they would rather you ask than to be clueless on what your role is going to be. Much love and have fun if you decide to go!

Ok/ how old are the kids and how much are they paying?

Definitely talk everything through before going on this trip.

i want to tell the world about the great and mighty spell caster called DR OSAGIEDE, my husband was cheating on me and no longer committed to me and our kids when i asked him what the problem was he told me he has fell out of love for me and wanted a divorce i was so heart broken i cried all day and night but he left home i was looking for something online when i saw an article how the and powerful DR OSAGIEDE,have helped so many in similar situation like mine his email address was there so i sent him an email telling him about my problem he told me he shall return back to me within 48hrs i did everything he asked me to do the next day to my greatest surprise my husband came back home and was crying and begging me to forgive and accept him back he can also help you contact him on his page link
I had a friend who did this and the expectation was that the nanny was available at all times to watch the kids so the parents could go do their own thing whenever they wanted. I’m assuming they’re paying your wages plus the trips so you’re there for a job versus a vacation. That being said maybe they could even give you an hour or two to yourself while you’re there so you could look around or do your own thing. Definitely negotiate this before you leave though.

What has that got to do with cheating unless you’re sleeping with the husband

Simple answer . . . ask the parents what their expectations would be in relation to nanny duties. From there, you’ll be able to determine whether you’d be ok with their expectations, and what the pay rates would be (if you accept, make sure to get agreement in writing, just so there’s no mistaken assumptions or misunderstandings on either side).

Just ask, it’s a simple question will you be working your regular hours or extra hours on top.
Um why you asking us, and not them? Clarify with your employer. Damn the questions on here, I guess we’re all Nurses, Doctors and Therapist.

Ask them . I was a nanny for a family that went to the Jersey Shore. I was not working whole time nor on call.
Thats something you need to work out with them. If you go, you ARE there to work BUT you have to have your time too like any job.

Why aren’t you asking them this, no basing here but how would we know this answer? I would personally be glad I was getting a free vacation.
My suggestion would be to be right up front and ask what hours you will be expected to be on duty.
Dont go relex its you time off enjoy while you can they don’t call you for nothing you will be watching the kids 24/7 all the vacation
You will have to politely ask them to outline the hour and wage expectations.

You should probably ask them
Ask them !!!
They’re inviting you along for childcare, so I would expect anytime they want to do something as a couple and the rest of the time is your own. That’s how it was for me when I used to be a Nanny, however only your employers can confirm this for you. I’m a little concerned by the lack of communication.

Totally understand where your coming from as a nanny myself it seems expected of us but no we are nannys not the parents set them straight before hand I tell my daughter I’m a nanny not a permanent babysitter

You need to discuss a new regime with the parents, before the holiday.
Honestly you’ll have to ask what their expectations are

Just ask them.
100% communication is the best thing in any relationship.
Tell them what you expect and ask them what they expect and come to an agreement.
I would just sit them down and start off by saying that you were only asking these questions for clarification so that you know what will be expected of you and so that you can fill your duties to the best of your ability and are prepared for what it’s going to be like you have not been on vacation with them before and if you put it that way I don’t think that they’ll have a problem with you asking or be upset with you for asking just make it sound like you want to be properly prepared to be able to better serve the children and them on their vacation so you just want to have a conversation about what’s going to be expected of you on the vacation such as hours, are you taking them to any activities that are around the hotel or wherever you are going to be, are you going to get a different pay if they have you with the kids at night if your job is normally during the day stuff like that
That’s just what I would do but good luck.

Ask them no harm in asking
Talk to them and ask what your responsibilities will be and what they will expect for you. Let them know what you are willing to do as this will be your vacation to. And GET IT IN WRITING. You never know what someone can try to pull. And make copies

Ask them to clarify this for you in writing as an employer they should be more than happy to assist you, also if they require you to be nanny on holiday full time request 2 days annual leave so that you can ejoy the trip also 
That’s something you need to ask them and make clear before you go

Should be your normal hours unless they plan on paying you more
Ask them, not Facebook.
You work for them. You’re not family. So set the boundaries before you go. Honestly. They are gonna expect more hours if they are paying for travel,hotel stay and so on. They aren’t asking you so you can get a vacation. They’re asking if you would like to go with them so they can have a vacation, and you can watch the kids. But like everyone is saying. Ask them

Ask them and clarify it.
It’s a concern/question that needs to be asked ahead of time. Have an idea of what you are willing to do in the discussion.
I just saw this on a different page…
9-5. But you should talk to them to see what their expectations are. If it is 24/7 and you choose to go, charge according… including double time for after hours.

Well, I’d probably ask my employer. Frankly I do t think you should be watching children.
I’d be very concerned about anyone being responsible for the lives of small children that does not even have the problem solving capabilities to ask their employer when they have a question pertaining to their employment.
You need to ask them that question
I’d Ask… But I think you’d be on call, as they needed you, could mean most of the day & night

I’d think that if they are taking their kids on vacation, they will be spending the majority of the time with them. They probably just want you for an extra helping hand. Just ask them.
Probably have to mind them at night so they can go enjoy evening out dining ect

You can also message him on his pages link
Ask them. Closed mouths don’t get fed. And unless they’re willing to pay for your time AND travel expenses, I wouldn’t do it. Also, if you’re exoected to be a nanny 24/7 you make sure you’re being paid for your 24 and your 7. People do this. They try to lure with the guise of a paid vacation so you can slave after their kids while they have all the fun. Not saying your employers are, but just kindly ask, "If I were to accept your offer, what would my duties and hrs be? Would I be paid regular salary or extra? If it’s not worth it, don’t do it. It’ll set a precedent that will NEVER work in your favor.
That’s something you ASK THEM lol
I go with the family I work for and they rent me a hotel room or condo as well as a car. I work overnights from 7pm to 7am. Oh and they do pay me a bonus bc I have to have someone care for my pets at home. Hope that helps.
Uhhh…what? That’s your job and you’re asking if you should do your job?

Ask them if your gonna get free time or more money if they make you fo overtime this could be good they want 1 or two nights and are giving you days off to cover or it could be 24/7
If they are asking you to come it’s most likely because they want you watching the kids after all you are a nanny. Better yet why not ask the family instead of coming to fb
