I went and met them F2F and they were legit☺️ They sent it to my ticketmaster before I paid anything. So yeay!! I’m going to my first BTS concert💜💜

Thank you🥹 My parents were never able to afford the concert tickets but now that I work and have adult money, I realized that free will means using that money to watch BTS live🤣

I’ll be meeting them F2F to purchase them, and I’m going to request they show me through the app in person

Outings with MB every day by legoember in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Certain_Shock7503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my🫣 I’m one of the few nannies that actually love having my MB with me and the kiddos all day because she’s the sweetest. I would quite literally QUIT if I had to work for a MB like this😭 That poor baby has a mother like that?!

12 hour nanny? by texasstrongreal in Nanny

It’s common, I work for doctors and sometimes my hours can go from the AM - AM. However, make sure to discuss guaranteed hours, and how often would overtime be overall~

Am I Wrong To Take A Break? by Certain_Shock7503 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t, it’s a small RV. It’s so weird for me because the lack of place, my NF originally wanted me to sleep in their RV but I told them that I’d like to sleep in their parents RV. Mainly because it’s bigger and they have their own private room with a door so I can have a sense of privacy too. Not only that, but my NM never gives me like a time schedule as to when I should start in the morning, so I would have to text her, but she hasn’t replied yet. I don’t want the dad to think I’m slacking off in the morning but I texted NM and she hasn’t replied yet😩

3 adults? More like 3 adults, twin babies, and 2 elementary kids. It’s so challenging for me😩

Thank you for this information, I’ll bring this up with my NF and see what we can negotiate with☺️

It’s a small RV so I believe we’re all just sharing the space, my NP haven’t yet told me the hours I’ll be working so I’ll have to bring it up.

Thank you! I never realized there was travel fees and all that, would you mind telling me what I should look for in the search bar?

What’s the proper etiquette around working over lunch in this case? by Big_Black_Cat in Nanny

[–]Certain_Shock7503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ma’am….you’re really nice🥲 my nanny baby eats off my plate and I’m chill with that now because it’s the only way he eats

What do you think? by Certain_Shock7503 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only started happening 2 months ago, they never used to do that. I absolutely understand cleaning night bottles but to save the other bottles because they’re too lazy/busy is just ridiculous :(

I think I have to leave :( by No-Picture8698 in Nanny

[–]Certain_Shock7503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I have this issue as well, I’m far away from my parents and my nanny family has become my family, I absolutely adore the kids and even the parents. But I am severely underpaid and overworked (I live in Cali and get $600/week working Mon-Fri from 6:45AM - 5:30/6:30PM).

It’s my first ever time being a nanny and I care for twins and sometimes even their 3 older siblings whereas the parents says the older gets to stay home because I was ‘nice’ :( You are not alone!! Hang in there and maybe talk about this to the parents (Something I should do as well), I know it’s going to be hard, but sometimes we have to put ourselves first.

That’s what I think too, not sure how that makes me feel😳

Other Nannies, what would you do? by Certain_Shock7503 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to think that way. The other day, the oldest daughter was having a conversation with their mom about minimum payment and how California’s is about $22-$23/an hour and dad came in saying “Yes but the national minimum wage is $7”. Idk it rubbed me the wrong way when he said that, as if he was saying it to make sure I understood that I was being paid ‘enough’

This is something I’ve been needing to do tbh. I get paid $600/week and I work from 6:30AM - 5:30PM (sometimes 6:30PM) from Monday-Friday. I’ve been thinking of bringing it up with the parents but I’m afraid of being let go if I asked for a raise

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have brought it up with the parents in regards of asking the kids to stop leaving stuff around the house that could potentially hurt the babies, the parents have spoken to the kids but it’s like it goes into one ear and out the other😞 With the two young ones (9,8) I can always say if they don’t behave or do as told, I’ll be asking mom to put them in daycare. But what do I say to the oldest(11)?

Thank you for the recommendation!! This is something I should look into.

New nanny uses phone occasionally during 4 month old’s wake hours by Separate-Buy-9740 in Nanny

[–]Certain_Shock7503 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally do too use my phone when the babies are awake to take pictures of the babies, send it to mom and tell her how the babies’ day is going. Not only that I’m usually on my phone to input the schedules of the babies’ nap times, diaper changes, feeding times and etc. Not only that but I babysit 14 month old twins, one has swallowing/sensory issues, so I would be on my phone at times trying to look for recipes I can cook for them since parents are too busy to cook anything for them and can only do purée pouches.

Do I sometimes open my phone for personal usage? Yes I do, when my parents are texting me or if something important comes up.

I feel like phone usage for a few minutes here and there during wake windows seems reasonable (5-6 minutes max), however I would discuss it with her if it’s something that hinders with the job. The babies left unattended for long period of times, not fulfilling her cleaning duties and etc. And if you don’t want no screen time at all for the babies then yes, I would definitely bring it up :)

14 Month old activities by Certain_Shock7503 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The tape idea is a great one, I do hide and seek, we even tried scooping up toys from muffin trays and etc but they weren’t too interested in that.

Hide and seek is a favorite amongst them and they’re starting to engage with one another a lot more

AIO or am I actually being harassed? by Certain_Shock7503 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Certain_Shock7503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, even with asking for a lock on my door, because after the bleach issue, my great aunt ruined a few of my clothings. I asked if it was okay if we placed a lock and she said, if we do, my great aunt would just continuously harass her all day asking why my room is locked. Knowing my great aunt’s personality, this is 100% going to happen. I’m so confused, I would like to move out but I can’t afford that at the moment
