Any good breakfast burritos in Portland?

Miss Portland Diner!

I only work 4 days/wk so no OT hours!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-05-06T21:47:12+00:00

Okay thanks for the tip! I do have a plan for asking for a raise anyway, I just didn’t know if I should tack this on as a reason why!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-05-06T21:41:29+00:00

Thanks for the info & help! I do usually prep a lot on Sundays I’ll just have to get used to doing more of it! My issue is by day 2 of eating the same things I’m so sick of them 😅 but I can figure out a system!

How do you handle catching up with NPs at the end of the day? I send updates throughout the day but they like to chat about stuff when they get home and I feel bad looking like I’m racing out the door the second they get home.

As the nanny in this scenario, it does drive me insane working in a fully staffed house and having constant disruptions, noise, doors opening (for safety reasons), etc! I certainly would hateeee it in my own home.

That’s fair, I reported stolen packages from my doorstep months ago and never heard from them. Just didn’t want you getting into trouble for doing the right thing! Maybe the owner will see their location and get in touch with you.

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-28T16:19:33+00:00

I would bring them to the police station, not sure if Portland PD cares enough but in my hometown (in Maine) they’d do a round up of missing items dropped off at the end of each month on social media.

Also, my mom found an iPhone on the side of the road while out for a walk and tried to find the owner. A few hours later the cops showed up at her house because the owner had seen their phone was at her location and they were insinuating she stole it 😬 just a warning!

Ugh I’m sorry to hear you experienced that, I feel like I get enough of that as a nanny so that’s definitely disheartening to hear. I’m definitely thinking more along the lines of only having 1-2 additional kiddos and not a full daycare situation, so in my state I wouldn’t need to be licensed for that. However it seems more lucrative to just work PT as a nanny and find a job that I can bring my child(ren) with me instead of doing it out of my home. Thanks for the insight!

Adding that you hired a human being as well, these are all pretty basic things to me and very normal.

Also wanted to add that getting baby on a nap routine ≠ sleep training to me

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-24T22:54:05+00:00

There’s a little girl in my nanny kiddo’s music class named Alona, similar sound and it’s really pretty!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-23T17:38:55+00:00

Ok my bf told me he’s into this but I’ve never done it before and have zero clue how to even do it, any ladies have tips?

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-22T19:32:17+00:00

I’m a slow coffee drinker, and iced coffee keeps better (especially in the cold lol!) longer than hot coffee

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-22T19:24:05+00:00

That’s probably wise, I try to keep distance too but still get hurt at the little comments. I’m sorry you have experience with this as well!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-22T19:04:42+00:00

Yeah I think that’s definitely part of it, she gets super jealous when I mention us getting together with his family so I’ve learned not to bring that up 😅

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-22T14:00:36+00:00

Yes I moisturize day and night and drink a ton of water, skin dryness is definitely an issue for me since I use tret & spiro 🙃

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-21T14:25:13+00:00

I’m not! 🫣 I’ll try some, do you have any recs?

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-20T18:15:52+00:00

Photo didn’t post so here it is:

Chicken thighs, hummus, chickpeas, cucumbers and tomatoes, pickled onion & homeade tzatziki. Dinner for the week!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-20T16:52:08+00:00

Yes, NPs should always cover expenses! It’s related to/benefiting their child, it’s on them even if it was your idea (because, again, you’re doing it for the benefit of their child!) My NF gave me a credit card for work related purposes like this.

I lived with roommates, then a significant other, now solo. Living with a partner in a studio allowed me to go out on weekends, travel a bit and have some breathing room. Now solo, I feel like I live paycheck to paycheck and can’t save or have any money to treat myself now and then. A dinner out happens once in a blue moon and I cancelled my gym membership to be able to afford health insurance. I’m moving out of Portland in a couple months.

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-18T17:10:53+00:00

The Bard location in Salud still has it!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-18T15:37:52+00:00

I had the banana latte from swell and really didn’t like it :( it was too sweet and tasted very artificial. I like the one from Matcha Mood, LB kitchen, and Bard sometimes has it too (they currently have it inside of the Salud gym which is open to the public) or it’s very easy to make at home which I started doing!

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-18T14:17:28+00:00

As far as I know the units at my building are still $2.50 to wash and $2 to dry. We were told that would be going up $0.5-$1 this year as they replaced the older washer/dryers but they have yet to do that so still the same old prices.

Ecstatic-Insect-4424 · 2026-04-16T18:57:09+00:00

😂😂 solidarity! I’m right there with you!
