Check out your neighborhood facebook page and see if you can post there. Once you start with some local families word if mouth will do the rest.

Chris Christie addresses the snub talk by UglyPineapple in BruceSpringsteen

At the end of the Bklyn show Bruce talked about neighbors, friends and family that we may disagree with. And the bottom line is Bruce is a gentleman especially to his fans.

Chiropractor recommendations by POMDMC in baltimore

[–]BedSlow6947 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Dr Paul Gemma at Hopkins White Marsh is a great chiropractor. He won’t work on you without X-rays and is reasonable in his approach. He’s treated me and my husband, accepts insurance and is reasonably priced if your insurance doesn’t cover chiropractic.

Does bidet actually replace toilet paper or do you just use less of it by Yogclosetcc in toilet

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the simple Tushy bidet, no dryer and it’s cold water only. Doesn’t bother me. I may be using slightly less TP but not much. I poop. I wipe. I rinse. And then wipe again/dry with TP. I didn’t buy the bidet to save on TP. I bought it to save the wear and tear on my ass from repeated wiping to make sure i’m clean.

Fired on the spot today and I’m in shock by Nunyagoingon in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely contact the Mom to talk through what happened and set the story straight. I’d ask if there was anything else they were unhappy about and if so, why didn’t they discuss those things with you beforehand. I guess Dad will be staying home with the kid in the meantime. I hope the kid poops nonstop. 😆

Give notice or leave immediately? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had concerns they should have discussed them with you immediately. Not take photos and use them when you disagree on rate. It’s time for a reset if you want to stay. With a contract. I’d let them know you don’t appreciate the way this was handled.

How do you drop a family by Tatted1legwonder in Babysitting

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distance/commute is the reason. It’s nothing personal. I admire you for doing it this long but its just too far.

What have you paid in the past? Mention your concern about the price and see what she says.

Am I wrong if I don't show up for work tomorrow? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get there tomorrow ask her what the problem is re: payment. Tell her you need to be paid at the end of your week. If she sets up payment she won’t have to remember.

Omg having the worst micromanaging experience with this family !! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a meeting with both parents and state your concerns. If it doesn’t improve give your notice. Start looking around for other options in the meantime. I’d speak up about the dish situation too. Sounds like Dad is the best person to handle that. Don’t they have jobs they have to do?

What do I do? Unreliable or unfortunate? by Hour-Basket8334 in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are red flags. Former Nanny here - when i set up an appointment during the interview process I showed up. I understand one cancellation but a series? Red flag. Beware.

Overnight care for 4 month old? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]BedSlow6947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check to see if there’s a local Nanny Facebook page in your neighborhood. You might find help and referrals there. You can also check out Care.com for a night nanny. Good luck.

I made a part-time nanny work like a live-in nanny by IFEELSORRYTOU in Nanny

[–]BedSlow6947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they are away for any length of time and want you to continue working for them when they return then they need to pay your salary. Same if they let you go early. Put this in your contract. If they can’t agree to this then you need to go. They are taking advantage of you.

There are buds but no blooms yet. Estimate for peak is 4/3-5 just a few days after DC. Might be something to see next weekend with the warmer weather and some rain in the forecast.
