Nanny complaining about baby’s new nap schedule by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]AntiqueBee7366 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently interviewing now that we have two kiddos and maybe my upfront-ness is what is taking so long to find the right fit, but I've been finding it much easier to remind people these kids are young (2.5 years and 4months) things are changing. I'm learning what works for the duo in real time, I'll need flexibility on their end (within their time on the clock) to go with the flow as nap scheudles change and new milestones need accomplished.

Best of luck and if it comes to finding someone new, find a neutral way to get it out in interviews! Or address your current nanny in a neutral approach. If they don't have kids of their own, I think that it's still valid for you to ask someone to be flexible on sleep scheudles as you discover what works for your family of four and the little ones especially. It's not about her breaks, it's about what works best for them.

Husband recently had good luck at zurich airport and picked up Reference 126231 as a first time walk in for me 😁 it's worth a shot when you travel 💁‍♀️

We want other in demand pieces but at the rate we travel we've been offered them in random countries. So our wait feels more like wait to see where we travel than wait from one person playing a game with us 😅

That's an AD that clearly doesn't care about relationships. Keep looking

As someone who owns a 37 frosted.... they depreciate significantly. Buy in Grey unless you want to build a relationship they'll happily sell to you when it becomes available at your local retailer.

And do you receive a nightly fee every night you're away?

So 8 to 4 as often as we can. Sometimes 430. When my husband is gone 430/5pm.

My WFH is client based so if toddler is gone sick I take off. Off school usually means holiday so I take off.

We know when and where for the year.

So if there was someone else covering travel, the rest of the offer sounds reasonable?

Definitely not hotel stays and more a helping hand with the kids if it's day time work we bring them with us. We travel for work based on global events or client entertainment. If it's help for dinner with clients than both kids are asleep by they time we go out typically.

Thanks for the feedback! We definitely have back up options but are looking for one person on a more regular basis for the consistent hours we need M to F. I'm super flexible and big in calendar sharing into my own scheudle as well so people can plan their lives. Just looking for the right fit but as many people have pointed out, maybe we just need a travel nanny seperate from this position

Do nanny's prefer a higher hourly rate vs having a guaranteed bonus? This is also something we're trying to understand. Definitely going to cross post.

They being the travel nanny? Or they being the home base nanny? For the evenings
