First time parent here! We have not had good luck with nanny’s but want to get people’s thoughts on our nanny’s current behavior…

We currently have a full time nanny for our 1 year old son. She’s been with us for a month, she’s young 20s and has previously worked in a daycare with a little kids.

I have noticed her be very impatient around my son, she seems to always talk negative about him, tells me he constantly needs medicine due to “teething”, doesn’t cut up blueberries when asked, etc. Feels like she doesn’t have anything good to say and isn’t happy. I’ve brought this up to her before but she says she IS happy despite looking visibly frustrated throughout the day.

Anyways TODAY I looked at the cameras (which I never do) and noticed she was on her phone a lot which we also have told her is not really allowed. My son tried to get her attention by biting her and she pushed his body off of her and yelled “NO!” super aggressively. He tried to bite her again a few mins later and she pushed his head to get off of her… it was honestly very concerning. Please let me know your thoughts! 😫

A family I used to care for reached out and was wondering if they could hire me for an opening on Wednesdays I have. I love this family and I’m looking forward to working with them again. However my rate has increased about $5/hr since we parted ways. And I’m wondering how to go about this. I’m mean I know I could just text :

“hello, I look forward to working with your family again, however I do want to inform you that my rates have increased since we last worked together. I now charge $$/hr please let me know if this works for you, if not let me know and we can discuss rates that will work”

But I just wanted some extra input, advice, support.

I work with several families who want very part-time care ex. ~5-10 hours per week. I was able to do this for a month this summer while my NF was traveling and would love to continue doing it, professionally. I’m in between contracts at the moment and feel like now would be a great time to explore it.

Thoughts?

How do you other nanny’s and parents feel about iPads?? Sometimes it can be nice to have a ‘break’ while they play on them but it feels as if you aren’t doing your job. Especially during summer when I began to get burnt out I would utilize iPads more but I do find that it makes me feel guilty that we aren’t interacting or I’m not entertaining them 24/7.

What do nannie’s think along with parents?? How do parents feel about babysitters allowing kids play on iPads??

So for context i work for a family with three boys and they’re going on holiday this week. So for this week i’ve had extra hours before i pick NK 2yo . I basically had to drop off a return package at whole foods and also pick up two food items. Then go to a shop and pick up a few boxes of dinner items. Take down their laundry fold it and put it away and then take out the laundry inside the washing machine and hang it up to dry. I also had to pick up their toys from the playroom and stray toys around the house and look through the kids took and pick things up so the cleaning lady won’t have a difficult time cleaning up tomorrow (she comes once a week) I also have to prep something for dinner so when dinner time comes around It’s all ready. I did get to do almost everything before I had to pick up NK plus i had to drop off a package i needed to mail which wasn’t out of the way quickly set up the Elf on the shelf i got for the smallest kid. I went to pick up NK and when he gets home i get him a quick snack and we talk about school and I sit and snack with him and red one book when the two older kids got home. When i went to take all of their lunch and snack items out of all three kids bags to put in dishwasher the dishwasher wasn’t unloaded so I had to put everything away and then insert all of the kids stuff. While I do this of course the smallest kids start pulling out toys and books so it gets messy real fast. At this point the parents had told me to take them out after the all had snacks so they can play outside and the parents can go and pack for their trip without the kids getting in the way. We were out for an hour and a half while I waited for the parents to give the clear to go back upstairs. They never did so i had to ask. We go upstairs and I get to start putting some of the kids toys away and setting the table when the mom tells me she’s going to show me something in the room so I go and she just tells me that they’re confused because why were the kids rooms out of order when the task list has mentioned to look through their rooms and like there was a diaper on the bed and what was I doing that three hours wasn’t enough and honestly I understood and I felt so bad i’m on my way home going through everything I did and remembering time stamps and honestly I was going to take the time while the kids played or ate to look through the rooms but I was instructed to take them outside to play I honestly didn’t even eat lunch. I feel like I really messed up and disappointed them and with all honesty I wasn’t just sitting in the apartment going through my phone or doing absolutely nothing. It took a while in whole foods to find the items since they were extremely specific and i am not a whole foods shopper or frequent visitor and the laundry is not just the kids it’s also the parents. Idk i just feel awful and nervous now.

Hey pals!

Question mostly for NPs but I’d also love input from nannies - what do I get our nanny for Christmas?

Context is she’s mentioned my YSL Sac du Jour tote was her dream bag as a passing reference, which I’d love to get her; but partner mentioned she’d just appreciate the cash value and let her determine what to spend it on; as kind of a Christmas bonus.

What route do you think I should go - a gift or cash value instead?

Thanks!

it's like a light bulb went on. after 6 yrs I diplomatically told a mom my feelings. she sat on th floor, faced away from me looking at her baby - she said nothing. she knew. I'll be leaving for a new position in january but I felt I just had to say something. all she said was, ": now I know what you need".(although I told her many times).you never know & I know every family is different. it's important to take a stand, set boundaries & speak your truth (also having another job helps - but wanted to share if someone needs a nudge)

I'm just curious to know why people here decided to become a nanny. Is it a long term gig for you? I know everyone says in their online profiles it's because they love kids or whatever, but there's got to be more to it than that, right?

I would love any advice and experience you have working in HNW (high-net-worth) households. I am a vacation nanny and have worked in some HNW homes but I will be working my first job where I have to sign a non-disclosure soon and the client info is very top secret.

I am expected to wear all black and need to go shopping for some things—what type of clothes do I wear? Are leggings acceptable? Does my outerwear also need to be black? Is it weird to go shoeless or barefoot in the house? It is winter where I’ll be working and it is likely we will be outside a lot too.

Also in general I’d love to hear about your experiences—what are the expectations, what is it like, how do I talk to the HNW parents, etc? I’m there for 10hr shifts, would it be odd if I ate with the children and ate their food? I always bring my babysitting bag but do they expect a certain standard? Should I update some of my old items? I also often take pictures of the kiddos just to send to parents. Is that a big no-no? Help!

THANK YOU 🥰

Edit: The reason I am asking here is because I will only be working for the family for 4 days (vacation sitter), so unlikely to have a contract. Additionally, the information is hard to get from them because it would go up to my supervisor, through their concierge service, then to their house manager or whomever. And so far we are not even allowed to know their names. 😊

Need some advice… or maybe just someone who can relate.

I’ve been a nanny for a long time, and every family I’ve worked with has been extremely kind and welcoming—truly like family. I’ve always been able to talk openly about politics, religion, trauma, and more with my previous families. They’ve felt like extended family to me, and I still visit two of them whenever I’m back in my hometown.

Recently, I moved to Texas and started nannying for a couple with one child. The baby is great, the job pays really well, and I genuinely love it—I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The only challenge I’m facing is that I feel like an employee rather than part of the family. While that’s fine on some level, I’m struggling to break through that dynamic because it just feels a bit… awkward.

This couple is very wealthy and seems extremely proper, which makes it even harder for me to relate to them. I’m not a particularly “proper” person myself, but I try my best to be as polished and poised as possible when I’m around them. Still, I feel like there’s a gap I don’t know how to close.

I don’t think the parents are intentionally treating me this way. I get the impression they’re just a bit reserved or unsure how to approach me more casually. For example, I had a huge breakthrough with the mom on Election Day: we shared our political beliefs and spent much of the day confiding in each other. It felt great, but when I came in the next day after the election results, it was as if nothing had happened—back to complete professionalism and normalcy.

I also thought I had a breakthrough with the dad a few weeks ago. We had a nice, casual conversation about our childhoods and growing up in the Midwest while I was feeding the baby dinner. He showed genuine interest, and it felt really comfortable. But the next morning, he barely acknowledged me—almost like the conversation hadn’t happened.

I’m just not used to this more formal, professional atmosphere. It feels like my every move is being watched—not necessarily in a bad way, but because I’m treated more like “the nanny” rather than someone they’re comfortable being relaxed with.

What can I do to make things less awkward? Is this something I’m doing, or are they just naturally more professional and proper? I’m not really sure.

Again!! I love this family and have no intention of leaving this job, I am forever grateful for this opportunity! I just simply want both parties to be a bit more comfortable around each other. For context- I’ve been working with them for about 7 months.

This morning after picking up my youngest NK to go to school:

Me: "I'm so happy to see you today, NK!"

NK: "I love you too, Lost_Babe."

😭💜 And que the tears, lol.

TW- death, seeing body.

I was driving NKs to school today when I noticed a hoard of police cars. We were in traffic and I was nosy so I looked to see what was going on. Around 5 feet off the road I saw police looking at an uncovered dead body of a man. I didn’t react because it would draw the children’s attention to what I saw, but after driving away and dropping off NK I cannot stop thinking about it. It’s sending me into mini panic attacks and consuming my mind since.

I did find my neighbors body when I was 8 and I am thinking this triggered the trauma i experienced back then, but I’m not sure. I told DB but it didn’t seem to shock him too much. So I think I might be overreacting because of that? Idk.

I want to preface this with, I like the boy I nanny and the family I care for.

I am dealing with toddler burnout. My boy is almost two, he’s immensely tall and strong, willful, and a daredevil with no fear. OBVIOUSLY these things are normal, but his added size makes for bigger tantrums, bigger messes, and bigger injuries.

I adore his little personality, but I’m struggling with his reckless and constant hyper activity. I am exhausted by the end of the day just keeping him alive.

I get breaks throughout the day, but sometimes my mental cup is just empty and all I can think about is going home. I don’t want to feel this way, but I do.

My heart breaks at the thought of quitting, but I’ve been teetering on that idea. I’m also a student and sometimes my days with the boy are so long and exhausting I don’t have the mental energy for my school work.

Does anyone have and ideas on how to cope?

Very curious about people’s opinions on messes that don’t get cleaned up when nanny is gone. I swear I come in every day with dishes from the night before, toys strewn everywhere, dirty clothes and towels from bath time, dirty bottles, crafts left out and the occasional DIRTY DIAPERS AND WIPES left on the ground. I do want to preface I love my NF and they are dealing with a lot right now. Which is what I contribute to the sudden laziness. In our contract I am expected to “keep children’s items in an orderly matter”. But to me that only counts for the things that were made a mess while I am on the clock. One day, I came in and there was a dirty diaper in one of the bedrooms so I picked it up to throw it away and it was a poopy diaper. Poop literally flew out all over me and on the ground. I was PISSED. I made a comment later that day about leaving dirty diapers out. But it still occasionally happens.

NP’s who do this to their nanny, I know you’re out there!! Please without acting like I’m “attacking” you), why why why do you expect your nanny to clean up your messes that were made with YOUR time with your kids?? If you have expectations for your nanny wouldn’t you expect them to have the same for you? I feel like constantly coming into a messy home is literally setting your nanny up to have a super stressful day. And for the NP’s who never do this, what are ways/things that motivate you to get things cleaned up before bed? And tips for how I should phrase this critique into my contract? TIA and hugs to everyone powering through this week before the holidays!!!

Hello fellow nannies! I just need to vent and would love some advice or encouragement from other childcare workers going through this. I have been a full time nanny for an amazing family for the past 8 months. My time with NK is coming to an end this week as they are sending child to preschool after winter break. I am struggling to find a position that matches my current with benefits such as guaranteed hours, paid sick, paid holidays, & gas reimbursement. I am feeling down because during the interview process, I stated to MB that I am looking for something long term (to me that is minimum 1 year) and she agreed. I was blind sided with news last month that NK is being taken off of a waitlist that I never knew existed. I totally understand that in this profession these things happen, and you can always anticipate that at some point your NK will go to school. They are generously paying me some severance which helps a lot. I guess my emotions are all over the place and I feel scared to find a family who lives up to the one i’m with now. Many listings for positions don’t state that there are guaranteed hours and benefits, which is a non negotiable for me at this point. I’ve also been thinking of asking for a contract for whichever family i find next, to ensure stability. I truly have had such a great experience with this family and this job came at a time when i was almost going broke from teaching and at a very low point in life. Can any other nannies who have been through this please help put me at ease or give any tips on finding a new long term, stable family. My biggest concern is making the same amount of money that i do monthly and being able to pay my bills.

I have a genuine question for all Nannies. I receive on occasion drawings from my nanny kids when we’re doing free time or they came home from school and made something cool and want to give it to me. I was just wondering to all the other Nannies out there if they put it somewhere special or toss it out eventually.

Not that I’d think to do that of course. I usually hang it up on my fridge and have been considering making a scrapbook/shutterfly book.

What do you all do with your art work from nanny kids?

After picking up NK4 at school, she told me she had a surprise in her backpack. We walked to the car and I went to help her buckle her car seat when she showed me three plastic coins. I said “Oh cool! Did (teachers name) let you bring those home?” She responded with yes and I continued to help her back situated.

Once we were ready to go I then asked her “So did (teachers name) let you bring those home so you could practicing telling the difference between them?”. This is when NK admitted that she snuck them into her backpack without permission so she could bring them home. As soon as she said that, I let her know that what she did is considered stealing. We then unbuckled, got our coats and walked back into school.

When we got to her classroom, I very quietly poked my head in to get her teachers attention. Some kids stay at school after class to have a school provided lunch. I asked one of the TAs to get the teachers attention, but instead of hearing the teachers name the TA heard a classmates name. The other TA was wheeling lunch into the classroom when she asked us what was going on. I explained that NK took the coins and needed to apologize and return them. The TA (let’s call them Sam) apparently also heard the classmates name instead of the teachers name. Sam then said “Well that isn’t necessary. Things happen.” Sam then asked if the coins were her classmates. I explained to Sam once more that I had intended to get the teachers attention so that NK could return the coins, make a quick apology, and go home for lunch. Sam then downplayed the entire thing. Instead of accepting NK’s apology, Sam just said “Yeah, these belong to the school.”

We then left and got back in the car. I sent a group text to NPs explaining the whole situation. I also said that “I am done talking about it with NK for today and will let you handle it from here. I apologize if that’s not how you would have handled the situation. I did what I thought appropriate in the moment.” NPs (especially MB) are usually super responsive to texts, but it has now been two hours since it was sent with no response.

I am super close with this NF, and but we still maintain an extremely professional relationship. Because of the no response to the text messages, it is making me second guess what I did. Even though I have explained the situation to a couple nanny friends and they said they would have done the exact same thing, I can’t help but be anxious about the parents’ reactions.

What would you have done? Do you think I should be anxious? Did I cross a line? Are NPs going to be upset with me when they get home?

So many questions. Thanks for reading my internal dilemma typed up during rest time.

I don’t know if I’m overreacting here, so some advice is much appreciated. My son is 18 months old and has a lot of stranger anxiety. It takes him a minute to warm up to people. It took him a month to adjust to our nanny, but now they’re best friends and she’s been with us for 6 months.

My husband and I attempted to take our son to see a mall Santa. We had a feeling how it’d go, but wanted to try. We were right and ended up not pushing the issue when he started crying, and just decided to leave, no pictures. To me, a picture is not worth him being worked up into a frenzy. Nanny knew we were attempting and asked how it went yesterday. I told her, and I reiterated I was okay with it, that I’d rather not stress him out, etc. I left for work not long after.

When I came home, nanny presented me with photos from a different Santa. My son is still screaming/crying in all of them, but nanny was very proud of herself and said she wanted to do something nice. I admit I probably didn’t respond in the way she expected, I said “thank you”, but I think she could tell I wasn’t happy and left soon after.

For the record, I don’t think this is a firebable offense. I really think she was trying to do something sweet here and I appreciate it. But we’ve also had talks before about not pushing my son when it comes to things like this. I get some parents find the crying kid on Santa’s lap pictures adorable, I personally do not. I know how upset my son gets when he’s in unfamiliar situations. To me, I wouldn’t even be upset that she attempted, but the fact that she stayed and had the photos taken when it’s clear it wasn’t going to be different is off.

My husband agrees with me that we do need to talk to her about it, but also feels like we’ll be assholes if we say something because she was trying to be nice! And she is a sweet girl. We just also want to be clear on not pushing our son in situations like these, especially as we’ve talked about it before.

Do we say something? Or are we just assholes?

I’m in week 2 of a trial period with a lovely family. I adore mom and dad, and baby is (for the most part) happy. When I interviewed they said they were contact napping but would be sleep training for naps the month prior to me starting trial. That did not happen. She has nighttime sleep down, but will not settle for crib naps. I’ve been doing contact naps for the past 1.5 weeks and it’s wearing on me already. She also has been royally pissed off before and after naps, so I’m rocking a screaming baby to sleep and then changing a screaming babies diaper once she wakes up. Doesn’t let me put her down for a while after waking up. Overall I think kiddo is a bit more high needs than my nervous system can handle, which is something I just have to be honest with myself about and decide if I want to commit to this job. I’ve been coming home absolutely beat. I used to go to the gym after work but I have genuinely 0 energy for it.

Pros, I love the family and it pays extremely well. I just don’t want to lock myself into a position that will cause burn out within a couple months.

I just saw this post on a Buckhead Atlanta facebook group- it had a picture of the family so they presented as a very looking wealthy family. Here is there post-

-$18 per hour + -15 hrs per week (Mon-Fri) (2:30-5pm M-TH) &(2:30-4:30pm F) -Opportunities for more hours babysitting on the weekends and/or week nights for our date nights. -Willing to be flexible with schedule Ideal candidate would be reliable, timely, honest, playful, engaging, live in or close to the Buckhead/Brookhaven area Responsibilities include: School car pool pickup at 2:30pm, play, help with homework, drive to some after school activities. Small errands close to home (grocery pickup, target pick up, pharmacy, etc) Some lite house work: wipe off counter tops in kitchen, vacuum hardwood floors, help with laundry & empty dishwasher as needed

Requirements: -Your own transportation -Valid Driver's License -Child CPR certified -5+ years experience with children -Background & Driving history check -References

So it had me wanting to look at the post, shocked they’re only offering $18 per hour. So I clicked on their Facebook page and saw this post from 2022:

NEED HELP TONIGHT: 5:30pm-11:30pm for a Christmas dinner party. Small dinner party tonight for 8 people at our home. Job description: Pouring drinks, refilling waters, bringing plates to the guests, taking away plates, simple serving skills required, some dish washing. Etc Will pay $25 per hour (The person who was initially supposed to help with the party is sadly sick) We are in the North Buckhead, Peachtree Dunwoody and Windsor Drive area. Message me if you're available 5:30-11:30pm Thank you

So they only want to pay someone to watch their kids $18 per hour but pay someone $25 per hour to wait tables??

Seems self explanatory right? And after 10 plus years taking care of babies and toddlers I can’t believe I’m even asking this. Every family I’ve ever taken care of, I just assume once the diaper is wet I change it. How quickly I change it depends on if I’m able to get to it asap or wait a few minutes because I’m helping the other kid(s). I have now started with a new family and while shadowing the mom I see she only changes the baby maybe once a day? No poop just pee. So either baby isn’t passing liquids much which I doubt or she stays in a wet diaper all day. I’m uncomfortable with this. I start this week without mom there and my habit will be to change the diaper frequently to reduce chance of diaper rash. Maybe they have a tight diaper budget? I don’t want to assume anything, but I’m bothered by how little baby is changed. Baby is 8 months old.

I’m posting this on my throw away account just to be safe, but I recently got hired for a live-in nanny job. I don’t know the people but I’ve met them a few times. They seem nice and trustworthy! My actual family though (mother, father, and extended family) who I’ve told about this job are starting to stress me out. They don’t trust people easily and are saying that they will physically hurt my new NF if they harm me in any way. They have asked to come with me to meet them but I’ve said no. They’ve asked me to search their house for suspicious things which I’ve obviously also said no to. I know they say all these things because they care for me, but it’s adding more unwanted anxiety and stress on top of me. I’m already an anxious person so I really don’t like them putting these negative things in my head. I’ve told them I won’t go along with anything they tell me to and I’ve told them how nice and welcoming this NF is, but they still don’t trust them.

Eating lunch and NK won’t eat anything for anyone. Today NM was like “you’re the only person who he happily eats for. How do you do it?” I laughed and told her that I tell him the food has super ingredients called nutrients that give him super strength, super speed, and the ability to freeze. We take bites and then after about 10 bites his powers come in and he’s able to do these things. She giggled and said “oh my goodness. That is the best idea”

I don’t know where to start. I found a position that is just going to be better for me over all. The only problem is that they want me to start January 6th making my last day the 3rd. lt is really starting to get to me and I don’t know what to do. Current DB just told me I could have the whole week off for Christmas and I’m just starting to feel so bad. I don’t know how to give them my 2 weeks. I’ve never had to quit from a nanny family. I wanted to give them longer than 2 weeks but every day it just gets harder to tell them. Every opportunity I’ve had to give them my notice it just doesn’t seem like a good time and I guess there is no good time to tell them. If you were my nanny fam how would you want to find out that your nanny is leaving during the busiest time of the year. Would you be understanding that this is just a better set up for them and even though they have their flaws it’s really nothing they’ve done? Nannie’s, would you give them as much notice as possible? My problem is that MB works in office and DB is WFH but in meetings all day. There’s a short snippet in the mornings where they are both home but other than that there’s no great time to talk to them in person. Is a very sincere text still a good way to give a notice without rubbing them the wrong way? I just don’t know what to do I’m so bad with confrontation.

are there any other heavily tattooed nannies here? i dont have anything inappropriate, or on my face? all are able to be hidden with clothes (long sleeves, pants, etc.)

i’ve been wondering—do you hide your tattoos at all when starting with a new family? if so, do you end up showing them at some point?

my last family didn’t care at all, and i’d even let the kids color in some of my tattoos with markers (they loved it!). but now i’m with a new family, and i’m not sure what the norm is in this field. i don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but i also feel like it’s a big part of who i am. curious how others handle this!

Update! Doctor ruled out HFM due to how the hives appear. They think it’s an immune reaction to a virus she’s contracted. Also side note, this is my last full week working for this family anyways.

I come in this morning and NK is covered in hives and has a fever. NP’s tell me not to worry, I don’t have to touch NK, they’re about to take them to the doctor. Is it wrong to be like… um why am I here then? (Spoiler I did have to touch NK, obviously they were sick and uncomfortable and ALSO needed a diaper change while NP got ready)

I’ve been alone in their house for almost 2 hours, which no big deal I’ve been doing a couple other tasks. It’s just why expose me and have me wait in your house for diagnosis? The mom mentioned HFMD and I’m not sure what everyone else’s protocol is on that, I know it’s harder for adults to catch but I’m immunocompromised (which parents know I’m starting immunotherapy next month for???) so I feel like I WOULD catch it and it will be just as bad for me.

Hello! My roommate and I both suffer from a lot of long covid symptoms since our first infection last Feb. We got a second infection about 4 weeks ago. I am already noticing new long covid symptoms popping up. I have been masking at work since coming back from my second infection. I had been masking everywhere but work, and since my second infection (and bird flu) I have been masking at work. My NP’s have made a few indirect comments and I tell them each time why I’m masking. Today DB said I don’t have to mask around them. I again explained it’s more for my own health as I’ve already started to get long covid symptoms and bird flu is running rampant rn. DB looked very annoyed and said something about how it makes me talking with NK harder? He has since been in a pissy mood, cussing, and being very loud. Am I in the wrong here??? I’m not sure why this is making them so upset, they are both vets who mask at work, and know about my physical health struggles.

Hi just wondering if your nanny families do celebrate Christmas, do you typically get them gifts? I usually get the kids something, but wonder if I should get something for NPs. If you do what do you usually get them?

I have two nanny kids (2.5b and 4b) and I was wondering if it’s normal to get them anything for Christmas? They have soooo many toys but I’d feel bad not getting them a gift so idk what are your guys’ opinions? Nk 4b has his birthday right around Christmas too so the amount of presents is crazy lol so many Amazon boxes rn. Last year I did get them presents but they got so much for Christmas they played with them for a little bit and then got bored.
What do you guys think?

I know this sounds like a first world problem but livid right now.

I’m a nanny to a 6 and 2 year old and work 30 hours a week. There’s another nanny that works 20 hours a week. We agreed to this schedule when I first started and it’s working out well. Well, today, the other nanny told me she’s going on vacation for a month and I’ll be working 50+ hours a week for about three weeks. No notice, no asking if it’s ok, nothing. Just said that’s she’s going and I have to work her hours. I’m starting school in January full time, and wanted to have a perfect start, but I guess that’s ruined. She’s leaving on Sunday, so I literally got less than a week’s notice that’s she’s leaving. I was so blindsided when she told me I just said ok. Now I’m scared that I set a standard that she can do this whenever she wants.

It’s not even the fact that I have school, I just don’t want to work those hours, they’re 10.5 hour days and being with a toddler and 6 year old that much, I know I will 10000% be burned out. I’m so angry I want to cry. The mom asked me if it’s ok (apparently the nanny told her today too) and I said yes because I literally have no other option (I’m a live in nanny.) I had plans for the next month that I’ll have to cancel. Since she told me last minute I already had bought my plane tickets for the holidays and now I’ll have to work immediately after getting off of a plane because that wasn’t my day to work but not I have to. The parents regularly ask me to babysit the kids at night while they go out, so who knows how many hours I’ll be working. Ughhhhhhhhh, the money will be good but I don’t think I can handle school full time and working 50+ hours. If anyone has any idea how I can bring this up to the other nanny that this is inconsiderate of her, or how to tell the parents that I’ll need more notice from her if she does this again, I would love some advice
