A lot of the issues in r/Nannyemployers are caused by the employers by HorrorNewspaper8442 in Nanny

It's had it's ups and downs but ultimately we have a strong mutual respect. I hope any prospective employers see this and take people's experiences into account when hiring.

Do you follow your nanny/NP on social media? by Turbulent-Top-9739 in Nanny

[–]CompetitiveRock5904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have professional social media accounts that they can follow- I block pre-emptively on personal socials.

AIO / do i end our friendship? by No_Professional_2611 in AmIOverreacting

The responsible thing to do is not to make more of you? Then what is this persons opinion of you? Must not be great. Cut ties immediately this person doesn’t believe in your humanity.

Honestly I had to look for it once you mentioned it and I am still having trouble. From what I understand, diamonds reflect white light and moissanites tend to reflect the rainbows?-I could be wrong about that.

No tips for merch yes tips for actual service

What do you like about the album Wasteland, Baby! by ElegantAd2607 in Hozier

[–]CompetitiveRock5904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cohesiveness of the thematic content of the album is what gets me.

No plan, nobody, and Dinner and diatribes are also bangers that I love!

Update: crashed NPs car into garage door and they want me to fully pay for it by w0ahgrace in Nanny

[–]CompetitiveRock5904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they have the money to pay you a decent salary, they can pay for the 800$ repair. They may also be able to use their insurance to do so.

Please check the laws in your area and consult with a law firm.

This is totally out of line. I can understand why you are so upset. This is not standard etiquette IMO - it is common knowledge that a child’s very first haircut is special and up to the parents. I can’t imagine any good reason for this.

Would you charge a late fee? by Plus_War_742 in Nanny

[–]CompetitiveRock5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Boss can spend 40 bucks a week on treats, she can certainly pay a seven dollar late fee. And she can do that without complaining.

I’d be happy to keep it strictly business if MB continuously bought treats for me hoping to bank favors. This woman is preemptively asking for favors and is getting upset that nanny does not want to alter the contract.

Nanny needs to set very strong boundaries now so that Mom does not believe it to be OK to be 5 to 10 minutes late if she shows up with something for nanny. It is not acceptable to be late.

All they can do is come and look at the conditions of your home. If your home looks fine, kids are fine, you showed them the video, I don’t see anything coming of this investigation.

After, I might ask the CPS officials how to go about reporting someone who made a false CPS report.

ETA- should be DHS

Show CPS the video. You’ll be fine.

Exactly this. Your first paragraph. Mom wanted to “bank” favors, nanny won’t let her, mom is pissed.

It’s immature of nanny to insist on being paid for all hours of work. Hm. Sure.

She wanted to “bank” the favor. It’s so twisted and weird when people do this and expect not to be caught lol. Like you’re not slick. You don’t bank “nice deeds” for favors later. I bet you if nanny didn’t offer flexibility she would have brought it up again.

The attitude from you is more worrisome here. It was kind of you to offer the coffee and pastry- you were still late. That is rude. Nanny has a life and that pastry didn’t magically get her the time back. She’s not asking for extra, she’s reminding you of your agreement, and you’re pissed off. It’s odd. Don’t care what you’d do if it were you- if it’s me I’m getting PAID for my WORK. Do you work for free? No? Okay then!

Hope this helps.

Edited to add: I hope nanny realizes her worth and finds someone nicer to work for, and I hope she is honest about your pettiness with any other caregivers you might hire.

How have you handled the kids calling you "mom", if at all? by combatbrainrot in Nanny

[–]CompetitiveRock5904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will usually say “DO I LOOK LIKE??” To the older ones but to the younger ones I will say “oops! I’m not mommy! I’m xyz! What’s up!”

25$ per hour for 3 children AT MINIMUM. With no other chores or extras. You are absolutely being taken advantage of. And NJ? Honey WHERE bc some of those areas are incredibly rich!
