If paid to. Ask your on duty hours. And I’d hope for less hours on vacation, I’d hope they wanted a lot of family time !

You need to ask the people you work for as to what they expect

I would ask them, just state your wonder what will be expected with the kids, and what Expenses would you need to cover so you can be prepared

They are going to take you however,nothing is free.I bet you are on duty 24/7.

That’s a question for the parents. Simply- If I went what will my responsibilities be? Then you can determine if you still wanna go- based on there answer

You should ask the parents what the expectations for the trip are then decide

Ask the parents, lol

They invited you so they would have fun. First off I would insist upon pay and definitely discuss the plans of time.

Ask them what’s needed from u then decide

9-5 extra time to be paid additional. Confirm with the family. Hopefully they don’t take advantage of your time.

Best thing you can do is ask them, ask them what your responsibilities would be while your away with them. If you would get time off ect.

That would be a conversation that you need to have with the parents. To find out your job requirements, time requirements, and if you’re getting paid. Because most of the time if you are Nanny and you’re going on vacation with the family you still have your Nanny obligations.

I was a nanny in Switzerland with my American family. Lay out the plan before you go. How many hrs you’re needed to work, time off, payment you’ll get for your time. That way, you can enjoy the trip and do your job at the same time

I wouldn’t go. Stay home and get your vacation

If you were invited to go on vacay with them as a nanny, then do your normal hours only. Otherwise, over and beyond is going to be extra pay. Or depends on your internal arrangement. Talk to them.

Ask them so everyone has the same expectations. Its also not unreasonable to ask for a night or day off during that time as well as more pay if the want a lot of additional hours from you.

Are they paying you for 9-5 or 24/7? That’s the question…

Are they paying you to be a nanny? Then you’ll probably be a nanny

I really don’t know the situation, but yes you are potentially opening yourself up to a situation to where they wouldn’t want you to be responsible for the kids the whole time. It’s a shame though that these people use our kids as an inconvenience even on a family vacation. My advice would be to politely decline the offer and take the time off to do something for yourself.

Why wouldn’t you ask your employers we can’t answer that

Ask for expectations. I’m guessing you would spend most the time with the family and you would be an extra to help.

Ask them. Have a conversation about expectations on the trip so you can make an informed decision. Express that you would like some time to explore and enjoy the trip by yourself as well as do things with the family. If they decline then you can easily decide not to go on the trip and have yourself a staycation or go somewhere else while they are gone

Normally I invite my sisters on anything I have planned. It’s so they can help with my kids lol sooo I would ask just so everyone’s clear.

Ask them for more details and make sure they include extra pay for extra hours + travel pay … it’s not cheap for you to drop your home life and leave for a full week …

Ask your employer what their expectations are.

So ask her and make it clear that you don’t want to be working the entire time. It doesn’t sound like that is their intention just that they’d like you to go with

I honestly doubt they are inviting you as a “friend”. More so it’s to babysit their kids while they play.
In the end ask them for the ins and outs. If you will have time to yourself or it it 24/7. My guess is, you’re still doing your job.

They are paying for you to go & paying your regular wages. You will be working. Don’t think they will like you to go off & get drunk or.hook up with someone or whatever.

They will want you to watch kifs 24/7

Only if they are paying you!!

If you are asked to do more, make sure they pay more. Unless they are paying for a full paid vacation for you.

You’re their “Nanny”… Doubt you would be off the clock… Ask them :slight_smile:

This is something that you guys need to sit down and discuss prior to you making your decision. I would say that you should not be responsible for the children at all times and you should be given your own hotel room so that you have hours that you are free and I think that very clear boundaries need to be set prior to the vacation

I took nannys with me when i traveled with my fam. I have 5 kids… I always gave time to the nanny to relax and enjoy.

Probably something to talk to them about lmao

You need to verify that with them

Find out before you make a decision, you don’t want to get there and find out not only are you a 24/7 nanny you may be watching more children while them and their extended family enjoy themselves… I personally wouldn’t vacation with my employers while working in that profession, nothing relaxing could come out of it

Only way to know is to ask!!

You should discuss your concerns with the family prior to agreeing to go make sure that it is made clear what will be expected of you if they want you to be responsible for the kids 24 hours then you should be paid for 24 hours nothing should be deducted because you are going on the vacation because it’s not a vacation for you

9-5 for regular pay and xtra for any longer. If you’re going as an employee it shouldn’t change- ask first

Ask the family what are the requiring

Ask the family you’re working for, they’re the only ones who can tell you what you want to know

Why not Communicate with the family instead of social media. I wouldn’t my nanny putting my business out there. Lack of communication is not a healthy relationship for either parties involved :woman_facepalming::woman_shrugging:

Ask them before you commit

ask them before making a decision. they should let you have a few hours a night off at least to do your own thing as long as you dont do any thing wrong

You could need to ask them and maybe set up times for each day.

Go on a vacation with a friend, isn’t it enough being around the family all the time. Get some peace & relax & don’t worry about the family.

Honey we don’t know! You have to ask them. But I would just decline , you don’t need a break from them ???!!!

I would assume it would most likely be for your normal hours and not 24/7. But none of us will really know the true answer so I suggest just asking the family that you many for.

This is best to ask them, not strangers that do not know what is in the minds of your employers.

Why don’t you just ask it never hurts to ask normal question like the hours you will be working and where you will be located and the pay and shit like that it’s a job so they should tell you what the requirements will be

How bout ask your employer.

So ask them… I doubt anyone responding can give you the right answer for sure unless it’s ask them as no one responding is them… therefore does not know what they are expecting from you…

Have this discussion with them

I feel like you’re asking if there is some type of normal expectation in this type of situation. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is an assumed standard. With that being said, you’ll need to ask what their expectations are. I have taken someone on vacation with my family just so the wife and I could get some relaxation time. They might be thinking about having you watch the kids one or two nights so they can go out, etc…

Soooo, just ask and y’all can figure it out so no one is upset because it didn’t end up like they expected.

Easy, just ask them what they expect while on holiday then it’s up to you to decide, if it’s 24/7 make sure you are paid accordingly

Have that conversation with them before going

My dear girl make sureyou have a contract and all that they need u to do is listed and agreed upon also time off so udont get exhausted.

Just be straight up with then and ask your questions

Why don’t you ask them!

If they find you that trustworthy to take along on a trip there shouldn’t be a problem with you asking your responsibilities, if any, during the trip.

With how often kids ar staking nowadays they may just want an extra set of eyes on their kids for comfort. I don’t even like taking my two kids to our local Walmart for this reason
