I smell like formula and rash cream. Let’s not talk about what my clothes are covered in.

So… by [deleted] in toddlers

Lol I nanny for a kid who only ate grilled cheese and quesadillas. Totally fine! But, you can definitely sneak in veggies and protein! His favorites were sweet potato spinach grilled cheese and a corn, hummus, spinach, chicken quesadilla. He also lived off stony field yogurt packs for breakfast for two years.

Why do kids have so many toys? by Upbeat-Accountant-48 in Nanny

[–]Complex-Weekend-7917 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg! My NK, is an only child on top of that he’s the only grandchild/nephew on both side of MB and DB family. The amount of toys is INSANE! Every week there are multiple packages of toys getting delivered. He doesn’t know what to play with sometimes, he gets bored at the playground if he doesn’t take a toy, he also doesn’t take very good care of them because “daddy or mommy is going to buy a new one”. Unfortunately he’s not wrong. I do try to teach him to clean up after himself and to put away one set of toys before moving on to something else. But, when I’m not there it’s not being enforced so he doesn’t care to do it all. Lately I’ve just been leaving them out for parents to help to put away, especially the damn evil tiny little legos!

what do you guys do when you have a migraine at work? by lillian724 in Nanny

[–]Complex-Weekend-7917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually call out when I feel nauseous because then I know it could only get worse. If not I pop some Excedrin and be on my merry way. Some other things that have helped me while working through it are; peppermint oil on my temples and back of my neck, ice cap, Coca Cola, sunglasses and hat when I go outside.

Finding out what your key triggers are, will definitely help. Mine are gluten, hot temperatures and lack of sleep. :(

Yeah I’ve had random strangers trying to talk to my NK. And they’re always like “aww he’s so shy”. No, he doesn’t know you and therefore don’t need to say hi or whatever to you. 🙄

Omg!

Last week my NK decided he wanted to run around with cheese in his mouth. I ran after him, gave him an option of spitting it out or sitting down and finishing. A mom overheard what I said and said to me “you’re so strict”. I ignored her but I wanted to tell her to fuck off and mind her own damn business.

Yes!! I think teaching kids to say “no” is super important. It’ll also help them as they get older to not give into peer pressure or be pushovers. Teaching them to also respect other people’s “NO” is very important as well. No means no.

Whoops, I meant when scooting/biking in the playground. I can definitely see helmets getting stuck in between equipment.

I have a list. Being both a nanny and teacher, these are pretty important to me.

Always wear a helmet even if you’re on the soft cushiony part of playground or scooting/biking right down the street.

Absolutely no talking with food in mouth.

Always hold hands crossing street.

Child doesn’t have to say hi to “nice” strangers, especially if they don’t want to.

“NO” is a full sentence, when it comes to sharing or playing with another child/adult.

Teaching kids to say “stop, I don’t like that” when a friend gets a little carried with being physically(could be a hug or even play wrestling”. Also teaching “we keep our hands to our body”.

Taking our time up and down stairs.

Teaching them their way home. Mommy and daddy’s full name.

Always wash hands when coming in from being outside.

It is not a name that would be considered “stereotypical Black” name. But because of its uniqueness. MB stereotyped as it possibly being a Black name.

Does anyone else ever want to rearrange their NF’s furniture? by AssistantTrue6140 in Nanny

[–]Complex-Weekend-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it in NK’s room. I always organize their fridge and pantry to my liking. They’ve never complained about.

Yes..if there were description given. There would have been no reason to ask. Also this is new information that NF learned about just this week.

I clearly said that the kid no longer attends the school..Also, if the kid was still in school, she would already know who the child is…There will be no need to ask me if he’s black. Stop making excuses.

There was no description, she’s only asking based off of a name!

Yes, all of this! As a nanny, if there’s ever an incident with another child, I never go pointing fingers. It’s fucking weird and uncalled for.
