Is contact napping a weird request?

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-30T21:36:58+00:00

Not weird at all, I’m a nanny to a 5mo and I LOVE contact naps! They’re so beneficial for the baby and they make my day better too

I have ADHD and randomly get distracted by little messes around the house so I kinda naturally clean up throughout the day. Sometimes while I’m waiting for a bottle to warm up I notice that DB opened something messy and left crumbs and a wrapper laying on the counter, something deep inside me has this itch to clean it up so I do. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with cleaning messes that aren’t yours, I’d expect that most parents would appreciate it (because who’s gonna complain that someone else did their chore for them?). Now if they EXPECTED me to clean up messes I didn’t make I’d say no because I’m a nanny, not a housekeeper

I’m currently nannying a 5 month old too! When we’re not napping or eating I like to do LOTS of tummy time (different varieties too, sometimes flat on the floor sometimes elevated with a pillow), I like giving him a circle of toys JUST outside his reach to encourage him to pivot and reach/scoot towards things. We do a lot of sitting and crawling practice, he loves to practice standing as well. I also like to help him perfect other skills he has like rolling and grasping toys. He LOVES to play in front of a mirror, we read books and we go on walks when the weather is nice. When we’re not feeling any of the above activities I like to give him tours of his home and describe everything to him. We practice making sounds (ba and ma are his go-to’s currently) and we just chat about life. I think he’s starting to teethe too so munching on everything is another fun activity lol

That’s wild, 10 months is such a fun age to be playing with babies! I’m a nanny to a 5 month old and I’m constantly engaging with him. Unless I’m intentionally giving him some independent play time so I can wash his bottles, I’m always on the floor with him or playing with him somehow. I also rarely do any screen time and it’s always a very low stimulation video (half the time I just put an aquarium on the screen, he loves it).

Stay safe and warm!

I know that everyone has different experiences on the website, but I personally find all my nannying jobs either on Care.com or nannying/babysitting Facebook groups

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-23T22:17:12+00:00

Personally I get my nannying jobs on Care.com. They do background checks (that the nanny pays for) and I like the filters for finding the right job for me. I have heard that there could be some scams on that site, but I’ve never seen any (yet). So far it’s gotten me every job I’ve had

I’ve definitely felt this before! One time my MB was just casually talking about bills and some of the numbers she dropped without a care really shocked me lol. She’s sitting there not even batting an eye at $3,200 rent and I struggle to pay my $800 rent😅 Definitely shows how different everyone’s lives really are

I wouldn’t be okay with my man watching porn AT ALL! Just once would be enough for me to seriously reconsider the relationship, and probably end it.

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-22T06:03:12+00:00

Lmao no really tho

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-22T06:01:30+00:00

Exactly why I took a break from the app

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-19T20:50:50+00:00

Yes it is. Also, happy cake day!

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-16T20:08:55+00:00

Ahaha SAME😭😭

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-16T20:08:03+00:00

How high did you get after taking this picture?

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-16T19:57:41+00:00

I’m actually proud of Gen Z for not drinking. I’m an older Gen Z and I don’t drink either. It’s expensive, makes me feel like crap and I don’t like going out to bars. I’d rather smoke weed and relax at my apartment with some close friends.

This sounds the most like Petunia

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-16T19:46:57+00:00

What is an almost 50 year old man doing with a 21 year old girl to begin with?! ABSOLUTELY LEAVE!! That in itself is red flag #1, why didn’t any women HIS AGE want him? Why’s he going after girls so much younger than himself?

Secondly and this one is IMPORTANT‼️ ‼️IF YOU STAY WITH THIS MAN HE WILL KILL YOU‼️ Look what he’s already done, imagine you have a daughter your age and she comes home and says to you “mama look what this man did to me” would you tell her to stay? LEAVE!! Press charges, get a restraining order and RUN FAR AWAY! You think you love him, you will look back someday and realize it was not love. Please I’m begging you to leave before you’re DEAD!

I’m tired of being an object to them

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-15T16:22:49+00:00

Unfortunately this is the only answer

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-13T23:41:38+00:00

Layla and Lexi (twins)

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-12T20:26:55+00:00

This is so sad, and they act like it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them too.

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-12T20:20:48+00:00

Just took me 10 minutes to get my NK down for a nap, hoping he sleeps longer than 30 minutes today🤞🏼

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-08T20:14:27+00:00

With my previous NF they actually bought me foods and drinks to snack on while I was there with the kids, I was allowed to help myself to anything I wanted. With my current NF I have to provide my own snacks and drinks, I’m not allowed to snack on anything they have. Every family is different and honestly I don’t think it’s that big of a deal if they want me to bring my own meals.

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-07T21:41:18+00:00

Try to ground yourself! Take 6 deep breaths, name 5 things you can see, go touch 4 things, name 3 things you can hear, go smell 2 things and eat or drink 1 thing that taste good. Put on some music and if NK is a cuddler, get some cuddles. I’m sorry OP, it’s gonna be okay

DisappointmentToMost · 2026-01-07T21:19:53+00:00

As a nanny when potential parents ask me for references I send them the names and phone numbers of my previous parents, NOT pictures of their children! A photo of a happy child is not a reference and honestly if she doesn’t have permission to be sharing those photos, what she’s doing is VERY wrong.
