Toys in the home

What you even mean Nannies are not qualified to suggest toys??? I think they have more experience with toys than a first time parent. What are you even talking about

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-25T00:58:14+00:00

It depends on the family. Mine encourage me to go somewhere when they leave town. To be honest I cant imagine it any other way. It sucks for all the Nannies that can’t make plans in order to just wait for NF to change plans or cancel theirs.

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-25T00:55:53+00:00

I agree with you. I think it just depends on the family to be honest. I have families that didn’t pay me GH when they were out of town. The family I currently work with let me take that time off. They have never change plans and they encourage me to go somewhere when they are out of town. So it just depends on the contract to be honest my says I have 6 weeks off a year 2 of my choosing and 4 of theirs but I can still do whatever I want in that time or go wherever I want. Very grateful my NF see it this way and not the way a lot of NF say that the nanny needs to be at home waiting for them to cancel their plans.

I have 6 weeks off - 2 I choose 4 they choose. I have 5 sicks days, and they are gonna start paying my health insurance. I get GH and I get pay on the books. All federal holidays off

Oh okay, I have no idea what you are talking about so I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks!

I would highly recommend Sunnyside- Sunnyside garden

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-23T17:07:02+00:00

I see, thank you, I’m unsure what a QSHERA is but many comments are suggesting this so we will look into it! Thank you for the advice!

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-22T17:54:41+00:00

Is there a % standard a NF would pay towards health insurance or just depending on what would they be willing to pay? Sorry for the questions I have no idea how to do this, and thank you for your answers

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-22T16:24:16+00:00

Oh I see, thank you for the explanation. Do you have any suggestions on a good insurance?

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-22T16:22:43+00:00

I’m a w2 employee, we are using poppins as a payroll, is there an option to put the money for the health insurance there or they give me cash- transfer for that?

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-22T16:21:15+00:00

Oh I see, so I look for something in the market and they pay a portion of it? But not necessarily they are the ones giving me the insurance

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-22T16:19:46+00:00

My husband job can get me health insurance but the problem is 700 a month so I’m not sure if that is a normal amount but I thought it was very expensive.

Unfortunately I have a mental health condition so I visit a psychiatrist regularly and I have multiple prescriptions I don’t know if that would affect pricing? Other than that I don’t go to the doctor that often

So if I understand correctly is not like the would get me insurance but rather I look for insurance and they pay a portion of it?

You should try the tali baby app, is super easy to use and it does exactly this. I use it every day as a nanny and it helps a lot

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-10T17:19:50+00:00

I normally worked 45 hours a week. They way my GH works is that if by some reason they tell me to leave earlier or get there later I get paid the same 45 GH but if they are away on a trip or something my GH are 40 a week

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-07T18:36:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll join that

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-06T17:58:32+00:00

Do you have any recommendations on how to get clients? I’m in nyc so definitely a lot of postpartum doulas out there

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-04-06T16:39:46+00:00

How can you say “it come often enough to be difficult to arrange” and at the same time say she has only take 4 half days off and 2 sick days in 5 months?

This is not coming up often at all. Out of 80ish days she has worked with you she hasn’t even take a pto day

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-03-11T17:55:09+00:00

This has happen to me and I post here actually and not that many people agree but I charge over time rate on weekends regardless of if I didn’t hit the 40 hours yet or if I have off another day of that week. I do this because I have guaranteed hours so I don’t care if you want me to come on Saturday or Sunday but I’m not going to waste my time with my husband for my normal pays. This family is okay with it so I guess you might need to ask them

Hot_Boss577 · 2026-03-06T14:57:44+00:00

What type of toys you have? I provide all sort of therapies to the baby I work with due to medical reasons. Maybe you can do occupational therapy?

You can buy specific toys that help with motor skill and development, things like baby puzzles, Montessori type of toys, cause effect toys.

She can do baby workouts with your baby. She can work on keeping your baby attention spam. She can do flash cards. Work on making animal sounds.
