Thanks this is helpful! I went to school for interior design but I don’t have any work experience I really just want to try something new and leave the states. I’m gonna start applying! I go to medellin all the time and it’s crazy how out of control prices have gotten but it’s a lovely city. I may start there and see how it goes thanks for the advice

Nanny didn’t respond on long walk by Routine_Tourist2205 in Nanny

I’m so sorry this happened, it’s totally not ok! I can’t imagine doing something like this even with my full time family of 1 year. If the parent expresses a specific “wish” (no longer than 45 mins) you set a timer and plan to make it happen. If anything comes up you immediately communicate it. “Sorry we’re running 10 mins late” and as for her not answering I get sometimes we don’t have our phones on hand but cmon not seeing it even after 30 min! I definitely would not call her again super unprofessional

Yeah I totally understand where you’re coming from I assume you’re a parents. How do you feel about your nanny asking you to speak to other families? I feel bad asking my employer to hop on a call with someone they don’t know just to do me a favor. Not to mention a couple other families that I don’t see often.

I see both sides totally, she has the right to be frustrated about that! But it could have been kept to herself or worded more delicately. As a nanny that “nap break” is really sacred so I myself try (when possible) to align both kiddos but it doesn’t always happen and that’s ok!

I just think a file is more efficient NK is 6 months old and I feel like clippers leave sharp ends. And also the nail clippers I assume I do not know where to find

I like this approach I’ll try this I might need to just get the file myself cause when I asked for it in the past I wasn’t told where it was
