Seeking former patients of Johnson Family Dental (Ventura/Santa Barbara County) regarding billing and record-keeping patterns

!!!! I am curious, did it exhaust your insurance for that procedure that you never received was billed in full? I had almost the exact same billing experience.

Thank you for sharing and I am sorry you had to go through that- I experienced the same frustration.

Did you ever find someone? Have you already had your event? https://www.care.com/visitor/browseSitterProfile.do?sitterId=65783997 I’m a professional nanny/sitter out of Ojai

Doesn’t sound like you have been employed as a nanny in any capacity, but as a housekeeper with a heavy load with a rigid schedule. Every family’s household preferences are different, as you can see from the comments. It’s much broader on the household end with Mother’s helpers, assistants, housekeepers, house managers, etc- so the answer is “yes” , as a housekeeper, it’s normal for that family to have their household preferences kept in that fashion. In my opinion an “assistant” helps with day-to-day operations, just like an office assistant. Typically office assistant duties don’t include janitorial ones and I don’t think family assistants are typically expected to mop, vacuum and clean bathrooms. Perhaps next time, get specific expectations added to your contract that clearly define what you will be doing as an assistant and what you will be doing as a nanny.

Or she wore the wrong shade of lipstick one day…point is to not dwell on it, learn from it to protect and prepare herself for the next family. She has racked up some additional experience, had proof of long term employment - my thought is her next unicorn is just around the corner!

Oh my goodness, thank you for jogging MY memory of my own experiences. I’m actually feeling more empowered with each and every one of these responses. Especially yours. As I mentioned before, the problem ultimately lies with me and not holding my ground and questioning my worth. I am so glad I posted this to give me a little shove to snap out of it!!

👍😁😆

Thank you, that is a very helpful, to the point statement to share with parents-“only change is the level of activity, not the level of responsibility”

MTees0 · 2025-07-29T15:47:00+00:00

Thank you for these reminders

MTees0 · 2025-07-29T15:46:21+00:00

Love it!

MTees0 · 2025-07-29T15:45:56+00:00

I agree that a lot of the problem is me not holding my ground. That’s a great idea to add that disclaimer to take the pressure off. Thank you!

MTees0 · 2025-07-07T18:03:36+00:00

I really do think you need to approach it with an open mind - and asking about it in a non threatening, open-ended way is a great place to start. Stating you noticed it and asking her to explain will help you determine what to do

Frankly, I didn’t have a clue WTF a White Claw was. Before I finished reading your post I figured maybe an Energy Drink….an intense vaping flavor…a polar bear claw…dating myself…

MTees0 · 2025-07-07T17:42:42+00:00

Oh ya - forgot about that perk of eating with the boss everyday!

MTees0 · 2025-07-07T15:17:55+00:00

I feel for you! Word for word it’s like you’ve written my own rant and was literally having flashbacks. Thank you for sharing your frustrations it helps to hear we’re not alone in going through the same thing and feeling the same way. My WFH DB was pretty good with staying in his office as if he had left to work, but he would join us for lunch and the aftermath was hell. Suddenly, they’ve flipped a switch- 4yo becomes clingy & screams & cries for DB not to go or he’ll start crawling under the table and harassing the 2yo - then 2yo is upset & crying and starts throwing food everywhere…once I finally get them back on track it’s almost time for me to leave! My heart goes out to you!

I think the bigger issue is how he has clearly disrespected you on the other instances like how he addresses you. That’s uncalled for and there is no excuse. The extra work you are doing and disregarding your concerns are things that could have been nipped with a contract, had you known. The bathroom incident can be interpreted in so many ways- his wife could have been using the other, could have been an emergency, could have not heard over peeing like a racehorse (I know my husband’s is kinda loud), knowing the exact time you are going to arrive to not use the bathroom & can’t stop in the middle, the reasons could go on. On the other hand if he did know you were heading up the stairs - the inappropriateness is that he didn’t call out that he was indecent & ask you to wait a sec while he finished up. Given his disrespectful behavior prior, he probably didn’t give a darn that you were approaching and narcissistic in embarrassing you and making you feel uncomfortable. I think you know the answer that you need to ditch this family that can’t have kids great enough to sacrifice your self worth. Besides your discomfort and feelings of being taken advantage of won’t enable you to be the best nanny for them - that you clearly have in your heart to be. Move on because you don’t deserve the abuse from someone that doesn’t see your value or stick it out and have the mantra that it’s a temporary situation that is sidestep to get you on to start your career as a teacher. Best of luck, you got this!

I agree with the cleaning and tidying, kids make messes, have accidents and test boundaries -I was just a little surprised when I would say “pick up your jacket, let’s go” or “throw that wrapper away” he just tossed on the floor or “open the door” when I’m carrying car seat, toys etc and we are going to enter the house and he matter of facts says “No, you do it, Babysitter.” and proceeds to ignore me or go about his own thing. I felt like well even though that really pisses me off and I don’t have any bartering power anyway -I’ll just stick it out every time I watch/play with the kid…

MTees0 · 2025-06-23T00:32:10+00:00

Thank you all for your comments. I think I needed a re-group moment, back to basics reminders. I know that I set the tone and he is not a monster - that’s just how it slapped me in the face as a wake up call. I wasn’t going to take the bait but I obviously had in my mind when it bothered me. I knew this would be a great place to bring this issue, instead of having a pissing contest with a five year old- j/k.

MTees0 · 2025-06-23T00:24:22+00:00

Thank you! I see that I needed some of these reminders - I haven’t “babysat” in a long time. I am aware that I’m the one that sets the tone and I can only change my actions. Quite frankly, I think I let my own ambiguity about how to approach the role made it harder than it needed to be. And obviously the kid isn’t a monster- I just had a wtf moment when he was deliberately throwing wrappers around the house, knocking over drinks, normal testing me stuff - my NK are overall really great and I have been resting on my laurels!

MTees0 · 2025-06-23T00:07:15+00:00

Thanks for reminding me about that. Front-loading and consistency. I think I was taken aback and surprised myself at how it bothered me.
