Do people really not pay their nannies and housecleaners if they cancel on them? Paying so they dont miss out on the income they expect just seems like the decent thing to do. My nanny actually has a contract and this is stipulated in it.

Exactly. I'm paying them to be available to clean or watch my kids. If they cancel, they lose out on the money. If I cancel, they get paid, as they were available.
