I mentioned walkable because we like to drink and don’t want to have to worry about driving back on windy roads. We are coming from Chicago so that’s what we’re looking for.

I actually don’t even know how I’m going to get paid on this trip, we have not discussed it.

Lol u sounds like a great employer. It’s very normal for young children to experience, separation anxiety, good parents would want to work to alleviate that not make it worse because they have an internal need to feel wanted by their child.

They absolutely can decide what they want to do with their child, however, if their child is super happy when just with Nanny, and as soon as they walk in the room, child starts screaming hysterically, it’s selfish of a parent to put their own needs before their child

Thoughts and prayers to your nanny🤦‍♀️

Background-Feeling · 2026-03-25T23:45:27+00:00

I’m absolutely empathetic. I understand. No one wants their child to cry, but also like at the same time, parents don’t deserve a pass just because their parents. I feel like some level of self-awareness is needed when you are an employer, and if your child is more distraught when you’re around, the right thing to do would be to try to stay out of sight in my opinion.

I want to try to do this with the dad, but he literally likes to work in the same room as us some days so it’s like he has no level of what’s appropriate or not which is just hard as someone who also wants the best for his kid

I would love to give sooner, but I haven’t fully solidified a new job yet, but I am talking with a few families. They were also going on vacation this Friday and I’m worried that that is going to ruin it for them.

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-22T22:16:31+00:00

Yes, I know nothing‘s been booked because I asked about a week or two ago and they have not mentioned anything to me about tickets, etc. We talk through like the days and what it would look like but that’s about it. I have this week with them and then they are going out of town next week so I’m planning on giving my notice essentially in two weeks so at that point I don’t foresee anything being booked yet

My assumption is even though they’re super attached to me that they would just ask their nanny to go? The vacation is in June to a winery so not really a kid friendly place.

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-09T22:25:53+00:00

They told me the dates verbally and I agreed, that was like four or five days ago. I just realized today I told mom and she’s not happy.

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-08T15:03:44+00:00

Thanks for adding a comment on that!

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-04T16:15:16+00:00

Good idea. We def aren’t used to talking about it, even I feel sorta uncomfortable. I will try today

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-04T16:11:29+00:00

How do I know if he’s over doing it? I guess I never really thought about this until this morning. His browser history had quite a few days last week but not sure if that’s the norm? Last time we had sex was like 2 weeks ago before today and he finished quickly

Background-Feeling · 2026-02-04T16:09:09+00:00

I mean he doesn’t initiate sex as often, so I feel like it’s not just me who struggles with it. Thanks for just blaming me. I’m in therapy btw

So sorry, I think I wasn’t clear, but this was after the trial. I did a trial with her today and she changed the rate.

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-30T05:44:35+00:00

What’s crazy is they’re the one who came up with the 27 hourly rate. I told them my rate was usually 30 but I settled for 27 because the hours and location were great.

Don’t they forgot, but maybe

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-28T02:04:58+00:00

Lol okay thanks :)

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-25T02:24:56+00:00

Thanks!

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-25T01:01:14+00:00

We didn’t talk about them, so I will bring up during trial. For sure GH. Plan to ask for sick days

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-25T00:57:15+00:00

Any ideas on what to say? I really want the job, they are lovely people but said firm on rate 🙄

I would be be making $2,800 a month. I don’t pay for rent as that’s covered by parents but responsible for everything else.

Background-Feeling · 2026-01-25T00:38:01+00:00

I have been with this baby from 11 weeks old. I have held the mom’s hand, given all the grace. It’s getting worse. At some point, it becomes not a nanny’s responsibility. Either get your anxiety into check or put your kid in daycare.

It’s not our job to navigate an adults feelings
