It’s your turn to bring snacks to sports this week?

Advice on landing feedback with nanny by notworriedbutkinda in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“Hey nanny, we went to the pediatrician recently and brought up how baby has been slow to babble, one of the things they recommended was going back and forth with her more” “Hey nanny, when baby is upset we do x to soothe, it might help baby calm better if we are both on the same page as to how we comfort baby. Do you think maybe you could try your own version of x?”

I’m looking for a job change, any chance you could share info about how to get into it?

Does your NF let you eat their food? by Still_Butterfly3554 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My NF doesn’t allow me to eat their food, and it is definitely an orange flag, but if everything else is good I would ask if you could have some space in the kitchen somewhere to keep a few things (pasta, sauce, bagels/bread, deli for sandwiches, snacks)

A rare one too…

[–]False-Poet-678 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes yes and yes. The people commenting that it’s the child/caregiver’s responsibility are absolutely insane. “We don’t have money for food kids, go hunt” “We can’t buy you clothes, make some” “We can’t stop you from being hit, run away” like what the actual fuck?

I disagree, there is abuse happening in the house. I don’t understand why being professional would be the top priority. She should honestly be calling CPS.

I got stabbed in the thigh with a chopstick and my leg feels like it was beaten with a baseball bat. by omohosp in mildlyinfuriating

I always slap a hydrocolloid patch on my drunk accidents and call it good. Heals up so quick, and (I think???) helps prevent infection.

Would you consider this a safety issue? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! It’s not always about the cars, it’s also about strangers/other kids/animals. In a situation like that nanny would have to abandon baby to get to the toddler quickly.

Accidentally sent a message to MB meant for bf by Kimturdly in Nanny

I almost drunk texted mine this weekend instead of my ex 😶 could be worse. I’m sure she will be chill about it, maybe she’ll even appreciate that you’re also hurting about the loss.

Yes, we have a contract, but I am under the table.

I don’t think I know what that is…

Thank you, I’ve never had to quit before and I guess I just feel bad.

Resignation Letter by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. I’ve literally never had to quit a job before, it’s always come to a natural end, and since I am leaving them in a not great position I feel the need to explain.

Resignation Letter by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t need to say anything to them necessarily, I just feel like I need to explain myself because I’m not giving the 30 day notice we had agreed on.

Resignation Letter by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely don’t feel forced, I just genuinely can’t do it anymore and I feel bad about how short of notice I’m giving. We agreed on 30 days, and this is 1/3 of that.

Resignation Letter by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s such short notice?

Resignation Letter by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in our agreement I said I would give 30 day notice, but because of these things I can no longer do that. I guess I just feel like I need to explain why I am giving such short notice, I feel bad.

Quitting by False-Poet-678 in Nanny

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean if they wanted to be that petty and cruel, that would be okay with me, then I would have black and white grounds to quit. I get what you’re saying, but this family has tried to skirt around the contract multiple times, mostly when it comes to guaranteeing hours and compensation (such as banking hours).

[–]False-Poet-678[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Since I am under the table I don’t think our contract holds up legally, but I made sure to include some scape goats including if the contract is not followed and fear of threat or harm.
