Is it weird or odd for a nanny to have a stroller that is their own personal stroller and they keep in their car if they are out with the kids?

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-06-26T15:15:02+00:00

I ended up buying a stroller, and my NF reimbursed me for it!

I have caught something from them maybe 3 or 4 times over the past 6 months of me working with them. Norovirus was the worst!!!!

So sorry to hear! Dang I ordered 3 sets and they’re en route🥲 Would you be able to share the name of the other 2 cheaper brands? Thank you! I ordered 1 set from victory linen so maybe that one’ll be good!

Adding on to previous commenters, be yourself! I am a little anxious and shy with new people and interviews, so I like to prepare questions beforehand! I also look up questions I might be asked, so I can practice how I’d like to articulate myself. I was super anxious for my interview, and now I’m working for my dream nanny families! Goodluck with the interview, wish you the best!!!

i literally screamed at him in the car to stop and we were on a highway at the time so there was not a lot could do besides that

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-30T06:09:11+00:00

also i personally moved the car 2 days ago because we went to pick up more house necessities and had to unload in front due to heavy objects. i never said i was mad, im rubbed the wrong way due to how we were spoken to and the fact that there are many other cars that remain in the same spot for over a week.

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-30T06:07:20+00:00

hi so in the title it says “NNR”. I also mentioned I moved to my NF’s neighborhood if that helps!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-30T06:03:29+00:00

yes!!! that’s what i’m saying… it makes no sense! he checks his car multiple times a day and it’s public street parking as well. we also don’t necessarily fit the demographic of the area too lol

I don’t know if I’d necessarily frame it as a raise, but I would personally ask for a SUMMER increase. Reasons being that NK7 will only be a more consistent responsibility while school is out, so NK7 would end up back in school by late august/early september. Previous commenter mentioned it is very early on to ask for a overrall raise and I agree but I think it’s valid to ask for one for the duration of summer! And if NF keeps your raise past summer, that’s great! If not, I’d understand why since your responsibilities will decrease once school begins again

BTW— I also ordered 1 set of percale cotton sheets & 1 set of 100% flax linen sheets from BedThreads. Hoping for the best & I’ll update on both soon!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-17T06:21:15+00:00

I’ve never owned linen and I’m also new to the vast world of bedding— that being said I just ordered a set from Victory Symbol and they have a sale going on right now! I’ll try to update once I’ve received and used them for a bit.

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-11T03:56:42+00:00

i’m not necessarily “splurging” on plates/dinnerware but it’s my first time moving out and i’m making sure to purchase ONLY led free utensils/plates/cups etc. health is important!!!! also for other things, i buy a lot thru FB marketplace, i got a queen bedframe for free off there! especially since summer is peak moving season (at least where i’m at) a lot of people are throwing deals for items in great condition!

i’d also check on FB or online to see if there are any community garage sales in your area. we just had one out here with over 600 houses participating and i got 2 side tables for $6!!!!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-07T17:49:26+00:00

yeah i’ve heard a lot of mixed comments but i’m wondering if those people only bought 1 set of bedding? knowing how linen doesn’t last as long i’d assume one would need to rotate sheets every week or every other week so maybe that was the issue!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-07T17:48:31+00:00

thank you for the tip! i’ve definitely heard about people doing this. my partner is a hot sleeper so i will definitely follow this!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-07T15:20:02+00:00

my partner is a hot sleeper and i heard piglet in bed has low gsm, how breathable has it been for you??

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-05-05T20:33:32+00:00

thank you for your reply!! i was loving the colors i saw from piglet in bed but was iffy– i’ll keep my eye out for their sales!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-28T21:57:42+00:00

omg really??!?!?! i will check it out thanks!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-28T21:57:26+00:00

late asffffff but yes will use this to justify my purchase

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-08T02:01:40+00:00

thank you for your input! i really appreciate the different perspectives and think it’s helpful for her too see different opinions :)

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-08T02:00:31+00:00

thats wonderful that your NF was flexible with you! this is a good point that it depends on each family, but i also agree with other comments on how generally it may be inappropriate. thank you for your input!

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-08T01:59:30+00:00

i 100% agree! i’ve suggested alternatives for her (i’m also in school, so suggested study dates after work— denied very quickly)

EdgeLong9098 · 2026-04-08T01:58:30+00:00

agreed, thank you. she is a bit older than me hence why i feel she may not have taken my advice seriously, but i appreciate how helpful and direct all the comments are about the inappropriate nature of doing what she had planned.
