For that reason, being able to hire a nanny for some extra help can be a real lifesaver. One couple brought their nanny along on vacation and expected her to work every single day for a week straight. That way, the parents know when they can fully relax, while the nanny knows when the responsibility is theirs. It also helps stop an eight-hour shift from turning into a 12 or 13-hour one and gives the nanny proper time to rest and recharge. Do you think the couple was wrong, or should the nanny have stuck to the agreement she accepted?
