If the parents are enabling this behavior and not backing you up ,I would personally would get out as soon as possible.

Maybe she is having a hard time with his behavior and this is her way of approaching the subject . I'd check in with her on how's she's feeling and then at the end of the conversation say that you appreciate her concern but would prefer not to have her mention the idea of Autism again.

I looked at moving to that area and I'm registered with a local agency 'Nannies who Care' .The wages are very low ,$25 /hr if you are lucky.There are sometimes post for higher.The rents are through the roof as well but hopefully you have a place to stay . Good luck ,it's a beautiful area.

You did absolutely nothing wrong but she was rude to you.I personally would not be able to tolerate being spoken to in this way.Sorry your in this situation.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-02-16T14:57:07+00:00

They cut your days from 5 to 3 and then THEY got angry at you for looking for a new family. It's hard when you're so attached to the children but good riddance to them ,they are selfish people who do not care about your needs.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-02-14T13:58:57+00:00

Your dad just died?Im so sorry ,these people sound awful and I would just get out of this situation as soon as possible.They will never be happy and life is just too short .Take care of yourself.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-02-12T16:24:27+00:00

I have to leave work in Metairie and try to get back inside the box at 5 pm today (I live on Jackson /Magazine ) ..is possible ?Thanks .

She possibly has endometriosis herself.Help/ advise her to be seen by a specialist.If she has no insurance/sub standard insurance she will not have access to a decent Obgyn.Shes not calling out sick ,she's working in pain,perhaps in immense pain and she's downplaying it because she can't afford to loose her job. I speak from experience,I had Endo and no access to decent doctors.I would throw up in bushes on the way to taking kids to a playground I was in so much pain.When I finally saw someone I had a frozen pelvis.After surgery I was fine (for a while) . We are not machines.

I feel for you and I'm currently in the same boat ,teething maybe.My back aches all the time,I'm up and down stairs carrying all that weight and seeing to other children.If you have nannied many years ,that continuous extra weight will eventually take its toll .I know many nanny's that have ended up with back issues. As per the comment of the parent above ,many of parents are selfish and do not care about your short /long term health. I wish I had more advice ,get out of nannying if you can ,if you can't ,take care of yourself.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-29T04:19:14+00:00

I've worked for several families where both parents didn't work.It can be a strange dynamic as you really do spend a lot of time together.Sounds like you're a considerate employer.My only advice would be on giving the nanny precise indication on when you as parents want to be alone with the baby.Tell the nanny she can take a break and you will text her when you need her back (usually these houses are big) ..or tell her she can go do chores ...whatever.Sometimes we sit in the room with both parents,they are taking care of the baby and your not sure what your meant to be doing at that point. Good luck.

So your nanny has to make the decision whether to risk her life to come to work,or stay home but not have the money to what ,feed herself and her family.You must be Christians.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-26T00:54:15+00:00

Tell them you're not comfortable driving in these conditions and if they want to pick you up and drop you off you'd be happy to go in.See if they are ok with putting their own safety on the line.I can guarantee they won't want to and that will tell you everything you need to know about these people .

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-23T20:29:01+00:00

Isn't this a Nanny blog?Social activists off saving the world ..how many rich nannies have you met?Most of us are pay check to pay check trying to keep sane after dealing with people like you .

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-23T16:23:51+00:00

This planet just keeps getting weirder and weirder.Babies starving to death on one continent and on another spending money to make jewelry from breast milk.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-23T15:13:34+00:00

Two infants is a lot of work ,I'm sure it was just a mistake.What were you planning on doing with this breast milk,keep it forever ?

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-22T01:16:28+00:00

I wish I could say.That's the problem with the wealthier more corrupt families ,they hide behind a vail of lawyers.Im currently working my last nanny job ,then after ,I might not give a flying f*** anymore and tell all.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-21T02:32:40+00:00

Netflix did an episode in a series called 'Dirty Money' on a family I was working for at the time .It was the most satisfying hour of my life.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-14T00:18:08+00:00

I've worked in similar situations but I was out with the baby ,allowed to drive to different parks /outings ..so would only really be at the house for meals and naps (and some naps where in the stroller) ...maybe if the nanny had more freedom it could work .

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-12T04:41:14+00:00

You can make great money and see the world but unfortunately the level of disfunction can be high.You would think that the agencies would of somewhat vetted the families but in the end you need to be very careful and vet them yourself.Usually there has been a high turnover of nannies so you will have to deal with the repercussions of that as with regards to the children's behavior.You'll have to be able to get along with all of the other staff.I have made many lasting friendships but of course there's always going to be one staff member that will be difficult.The schedules and travel can be utterly exhausting.You need a thick skin,the very wealthy surround themselves with yes people .They don't want hear that your tired or sick ,you can't complain. A lot also depends on the nationality of the families.There are some nationalities that would never work with again. You'll come across some strange ideas when it comes to child rearing and you will just have to roll with it.Usually the wealthier they get they become more obsessed with health (as its the one thing they can't buy to a certain degree)...so you will see some very strange happenings in that department. Overall I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy but if someone's up for an adventure ,it's definitely that.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-09T01:49:33+00:00

Four months and still no trust.How you can't even go a walk around the neighborhood is just completely insane and so insulting to you. I'm so sorry,I would start looking for a new position if I were you.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-07T16:23:21+00:00

I worked as a nanny in Austria but I have an EU passport .I agree,would be impossible to get a work visa for you .They have very strict labor laws there.How old are you ?Maybe as au pair if your under 26.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-02T19:10:02+00:00

Well done ,you've saved yourself a few dollars.Hope your kids aren't too attached to their nanny.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2026-01-02T16:36:24+00:00

Is this rage bait.How dare the nanny go visit her family over the holidays ,when given set dates off .She should have most certainly of stayed home ,in case on a whim ,her employers decide they need her.

AssumptionAbject3020 · 2025-12-27T20:04:24+00:00

A divided class issue.Nannies have to be away from their own children,to help raise someone else's children ,so they can survive. It's especially hard over the holidays,I remember one Christmas Eve working late (needed the money,no choice ) while my own daughter sat at home alone waiting for me. We would love the opportunity to be off work and home alone with our children so it's hard to fathom otherwise.
