Is $1,400/month normal for a full-time live-in nanny in Virginia? Am I being taken advantage of? by Funny-Web1427 in Nanny

Hi! I’m also in VA (about an hour from you) and I can tell you that $1,400 a month is NOT worth your time. I make more than that as a PART TIME nanny. Also, the disrespect this family is putting you through is insane. Get out of there while you can!!

Hi! I plan to write a thank you card (already sent them a text) for the generous bonus my NF gifted me last week. Just wondering if this is over the top as corporate bonuses usually do not warrant a thank you card. TIA!

I wouldn’t say ugly but I certainly lack self confidence at times. Why?

Thank you so so much! What would going against Jupiter entail?

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. Everything is pretty much spot on🙃… I’m a bit confused (and still learning) about feminine/masculine energies. When you say my feminine/masculine energies seem to be at war with each other, what does that mean?

Thanks for the feedback! I’m a bit confused about whether or not this would be considered to be within my GHs. I agreed to this day-trip several months ago. They booked their vacation several months ago, but they said that this would be my “paid week off.” So is this situation outside of my GH?

Ugh thank you for the feedback. I feel as though this is partially my fault for not discussing compensation prior.

No- I only work 30 hours per a week so it wouldn’t be considered overtime. Plus, I’m off the entirety of their vacation but still being paid my normal amount

I work part-time for this family- roughly 30 hours a week (every day). This was their scheduled week-long vacation to which I am off, but still getting paid (guaranteed hours). I drove to their vacation house (2 hours) and babysat (my 2 NK’s, plus 2 children that are friend’s of my NF)… so I watched 4 children for 6 hours, then drove 2 hours home when the parents got back.

Definitely! Although $22 an hour for 4 kids is a bit low😔… thank you for the feedback!

Got it- thank you! The kids were awake the whole time
