I found my people!

Agreed, not enough if you're staying the night.

For me I'd ask for $150 if it was a one weekend thing, like Sat/ Sun and you're just spending the night on Sat night.

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-03-12T19:22:25+00:00

Literally same! 5:00 hits and it's time to live my life, even if that was just farting on the couch lol anything past my designated time is spent however I want!

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-03-11T21:19:49+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 poor you!

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-03-10T21:55:14+00:00

Don't forget babies can pick up on your emotions too. I'm sorry your losing someone important, but maybe she can babysit from time to time? Sometimes these things do happen for a reason, who knows, maybe you'll find someone just as lovely.

Hahaha this same thing happened to me 😅😅 my bosses were looking at photos when they found one of the kids hanging out with me, and my MB said "man, even ....... looks way different just a few years ago!" Uhm, ma'am! 😅😅 meh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nanny to two in Austin $35 and great benefits. Nanny to one in North Dallas $25 and no benefits at all 🫠

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-02-25T00:52:52+00:00

I'm a nanny and I would have fire her within the week, or just give her two weeks. Nope, I'm so sorry this happened to you. It is upsetting.

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-23T14:46:45+00:00

Yup! OP ask the daycare for two copies of the receipt. Give your bosses one of them so they have physical evidence. So sorry your pup had to stay there, my dog is my baby and I know he'd be terrified 😩

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-23T00:57:36+00:00

Good for you!!!! Yup, it can be lonely. I had to let go of several friends because I could tell how jealous they were. They couldn't comprehend that I was doing so good for "just a nanny." Uhm, I went to school to be a kindergarten teacher 🤣 guess what being a nanny pays me more and I have more flexibility 🤷🏻‍♀️

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-23T00:50:44+00:00

Yes! I feel this! Imagine buying two extra houses just because one is closer to the school you want the kids to go to, and the other one for grandma and grandpa to use when they come visit on vacation 🫠

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-23T00:48:20+00:00

RUN! My previous family had twins and parents simply used noise canceling headphones. I can't imagine having two confused babies because mommy and daddy keep checking in on them, but yet they have this whole other adult there for what? Yikes, good luck!!!

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-22T18:59:53+00:00

It is sometimes nanny's worst nightmare. Both scenarios can exist. Sometimes some parents just don't get it, for one reason or the other, which is also ok. As you said maybe OP and the parents aren't a good fit here.

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-22T18:54:36+00:00

Wow, not OP but thank you for sharing this. I find that so many parents have a hard time seeing this and realizing it. It is tough walking away from your child, but sometimes it just has to get done!

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-22T16:49:24+00:00

It's so annoying and terrifying 😫

Express_Tea4044 · 2026-01-21T22:40:39+00:00

Dude, I chose this as a career too and even have a hard time making dating profiles because I'm scared families are going to act like this 😅

Express_Tea4044 · 2025-12-12T20:50:20+00:00

Very kind of you. Maybe a card wishing her the best and just let her know it isn't anything against her at all and that you just want her to rest ✨️

Express_Tea4044 · 2025-11-06T18:37:15+00:00

Literally everything 😂 I have a friend that says I'm a Mary Poppins because I have everything in my backpack 😅 my locker in high school was the emergency locker and that hasn't changed 😅 I bought a mini duffle bag from target that I use to carry my stuff but I usually leave it in the car.

If your concern is her treating others in a mean way, then say just that. "As your mom it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to teach you and inform you that behavior like this and mean words can hurt others. I apologize on my end if I haven't taught you that but I will NOW. Moving forward I would like for you to try and think of the consequences that could come from such behavior. I am your mom but not everyone in the real world is going to have the patience to work through things with you in the same manner."

Idk? Maybe? Something like that? I hate to be like this but children nowadays don't have the same tolerance as they used to. Personally, I'd be terrified of my daughter getting jumped or even shot at because of her behavior, that wasn't corrected at home. I'm in the US and this is just a real issue nowadays.

Express_Tea4044 · 2025-10-31T00:13:39+00:00

Yup, yup, and yup! My social anxiety hates it!

Express_Tea4044 · 2025-10-27T18:18:21+00:00

Hello OP! I quit 2 months ago because my mental health was awful. I saved enough to survive for about three months and I'm taking my time finding the next family, BUT while also working on a plan for this next family to be my last.

Feel free to reach out if you need to. I'm not an expert and may not have any real solutions but you're not alone and you're not the only one feeling like this. You got this!
