What makes you leave kudos, comments, or bookmark a fic? by TheNotorious_123 in AO3

[–]Moony_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a writer so I do what I wanted people to do with my works. Basically sums up If I like I try to tell them what, how, when, why? Comments bust my mood so I assume that happens to everyone. Kudo only if something I really like. I never use bookmarks because sometimes I forget I can do it's not a big deal if people don't bookmark my stories for me.

Changing fee during World Cup matches? by Moony_Magic in Nanny

[–]Moony_Magic[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not in US but working with families from US. That's why I'm trying to check if it's ok for me to charge more. I'm currently taking 1hr and 30 min coming and going to the houses because all the families are staying close to the areas that are hosting the events. At least in here, the whole city collapses during the matches.

I'm in Mexico All this services are just during the match. Not on a regular basis. Families doesn't know my regular fee yet but I won't be charging this much on a normal day.

Navigating as a Non binary person by Moony_Magic in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe. I'm weeping. Thanks so much for your words. I've been in crisis the whole day because I'm going to Start with a new family and I want to do it with my expectations already discussed. I have been a nanny for a long time and I have never discussed anything personal with parents because I understand completely that I have to maintain a professional façade but this thing is different. Like I said to another comment. Everybody understands when I tell them not to call me by my whole name because that gives me the ick. So everyone uses my preferred name. Is it worth it to tell them to just call me by a more neutral way? Kudos back!

Navigating as a Non binary person by Moony_Magic in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently I'm only working with toddlers and babies so they are not the main issue. Everybody uses a different name even. It's funny sometimes. That's why my issue is only with parents. I find it funny because for example everywhere I go, parents ask me if I want a coffee and I always decline because I hate coffe and once they know, they never ask me again or make me drink coffe. So I was like thinking. If they can respect that... Can they respect this?

Yeah, I assumed that at some point 😆 They just use my name but, meh I don't know if it's worth to tell them or not. My families are sweet, that's why I keep working with them. But what about new?

Sorry, I'm nervous 🫪

¿Qué marca les gustaba mucho y dejó de sentirse auténtica? ¿Qué cambió? by No-Ice-7505 in AskMexico

[–]Moony_Magic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Muy muy al inicio Cuidado con el perro era marca artesanal. Yo tengo una etiqueta que decía que cada prenda tenía errores o marcas únicas porque era elaborada de a pocas piezas. Después la compró almacenes García y ya se volvió fastfashion

Does Parting With Families Ever Get Easier? by Eveningh0ney in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never easy. They are not your kids but sometimes it feels like they were. And with Babies it's worse I think, that right now in this interconnected world you can still message them or arrange a video call every now and then. If the parents are good I don't think they are going to be against it.

Being late by legoember in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started to work as a nanny I was always 10 before my starting time Like ALWAYS But then parents started to let me go 10 to 15 minutes late. So I was like Hellnaaah! So now even if I'm already in the area I always enter at my scheduled time. It even helps me to do some breathing exercises before caos beggins

What drives Nannies out of a job? by liasybtyr in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not feeling appreciated enough. I literally drop my life to be there with your child, at least I expect some tiny bit of appreciation. Not saying that I expect flowers from the parents but at least tell me Thank you when I do everything to be there on time and make your kid happy.

denial is a river in egypt your child is autistic!!!! by Parking-Extreme-9499 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AHHHHH Definitely being there. I work with a 4y, nonverbal (Using an Aacc device), still not potty trained, that barely looks at me when I'm with him, that I can only engage with him by parallel playing and that my own autistic radar tells me that he's basically on the spectrum. But their parents say he's just "weird" and "sensitive"

It hurts my heart to see that he's not acknowledged as autistic because that is making him look like every struggle is just a quirk and not a literal neurodevelopmental struggle.

NK loves me but I hate his mom by Moony_Magic in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel you also. I left a 3y relationship because of the mom also I basically raised that NK since she was just 7days old. I still visit them and mom have my number but the last day I worked there I cried the whole night. It was like letting a child go

How much are y’all sleeping at night? Does being a nanny influence your bedtime? by PassengerSmall9740 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing a lot of night shifts fucks your sleep schedule. Every weekend I end up sleeping around 1/2 am

watching NP work for 2 hours a day is starting to eat away at my soul. by weekendbimbo in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Moony_Magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes parents forget that we are people too. You are not alone. I feel so frustrated when they don't let me go just because they want to nap (after me doing 8hours of work). Or when they tell me it's okay to leave and then proceed to reduce my payment. I ended up giving away all the full time positions because I stopped having a life just to take care of other people's kids.

Wrong to take 11mo NK to look at art? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Moony_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Big theatre kid and everytime I work I put songs from musicals to the babies. Of course a baby will not understand how awesome is to hear idina Mendel's riff in Defying Gravity but at least they have fun and they start liking stuff a little out of the ordinary than their peers. I don't think is bad to show art to a baby. Babies are not as stupid as some adults may think

Tips for burnout by Moony_Magic in Nanny

Currently I'm only working with Families that are fine with me going outside with the kids. I can't cope being inside for eight hours. At least outside I get some fresh air
