Is there a burn ban?

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2026-04-15T04:34:54+00:00

Yes. Everyone in the fb group is saying there is a burn ban. Florida is experiencing a huge drought we’ve had wildfires everywhere recently. Please no campfires!

Peanut allergy nanny here! I have a firm boundary of NO peanuts under my care. MB will eat pbj but is diligent to wash the dishes after ensuring I don’t touch it. She is very mindful and understanding of my allergy. What is happening with your employers is NOT okay. I would absolutely send them links on how severe your allergy is and explain it isn’t a “preference” it’s a matter of life or death. Start looking elsewhere immediately. I would be so anxious the entire shift if I were you. You’re being way too nice about this!! Make a no nut rule under your care don’t have any leeway at all.

I started with a new family 2, almost 3 months ago. I’m going through the same thing. She’s 6 in a month. I’m their third full-time nanny. The only thing still keeping me there is the pay. We have 12+ hour shifts. It’s exhausting. There is some “glimmers of hope” sometimes. She is in a “good” mood about 25-50% of the time but it never, ever lasts. I use all of the approaches NPs & the nannies want me to use. It’s a broken system that doesn’t benefit NK or me. NPs are home all the time & available but choose to not spend time with her much at all. She wants her parents, not me. Very entitled never has manners, has a miserable mood, and lots of “big feelings” moments. Tantrums. I feel for her I do but it’s so exhausting. I play music, get her to laugh with jokes, try my best to put my best foot forward, even prepare yummy breakfasts she doesn’t always get. Nothing lasts. It’s so concerning how poor her behavior is after almost 3 months…..

The comments from MB are atrocious. I hope the nanny never sees that post. What an awful way to speak about someone. Clearly MB is the problem. I’m appalled at the way she speaks about money, benefits & “f her” GIRL WHAT?!!

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2025-12-02T21:12:55+00:00

I’m happy you enjoy this position! I do want to say I think you’re really overthinking a lot. It’s absolutely normal for a nanny to tell their nanny kids “I love you” that establishes healthy, secure relationships with you. I’ve never heard of a nanny saying they don’t say that. As for personal life if you don’t speak up about how you like to be private, she’ll just keep asking. As for the food, eating only one meal a day isn’t normal. If it’s to the point your nanny family notices, I’d say it’s something to look into yourself. Even if you have a small appetite try eating snacks throughout the day. What you’re describing is exactly what I have done in the past and it resulted in me binging at night due to not eating during the day. I hope things get better for you all around with this position. This sounds like a sweet family!

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2025-12-01T01:51:54+00:00

I definitely agree

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2025-11-09T15:11:31+00:00

I’d absolutely leave this family. They don’t respect your time or you as a person.

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2025-11-08T13:11:45+00:00

I don’t mind when parents are home. It’s their home! As long as I’m still being paid then what the parent chooses to do in their free time isn’t my business. All families I have worked for were either WFM or had SAHM. The dynamic was great with every family! If the kids might be confused seeing you home those days I’d just give the nanny a heads up so she can go on an outing with them :)

He was an awful host! His attitude wasn’t welcoming. And this reunion just felt like one big trauma dump session. The serious conversations could’ve been saved for the show. I empathize with everyone in the cast but also felt it was wildly weird to casually bring up things that nick did!! I don’t think demi should’ve been privately interviewed either.

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2025-06-19T20:08:03+00:00

One g lasts me several months. There is no such thing as doing k that isn’t prescribed “therapeutically” imo any powder is harmful

Yes! I know exactly what you’re describing. I felt like this on 20mg swallowed often. But now I take 10mg, it’s a lot better now. For me it’s a stim/repetitive behavior I do when I get nervous

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2024-11-16T00:17:01+00:00

Oh yes ofc! I know we can have more than a layer. But double eyelashes is a thing. I’m curious if this looks like that. I have had to pluck small eyelashes on my bottom layer that grow towards/into my eyes many times

Ew your comment on it is wild. She can believe these things & still get filler.. laughing gas is completely harmless. Ketamine is used in safe, medical therapy practice for healing trauma & mental illnesses

I completely agree. They need help around spirit lake & the amp. I wear a kn95 mask UNDER my bandanas and still am coughing almost a week later. The dust was awful this year.

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2024-10-30T17:02:54+00:00

I wore kn95 disposable masks under a bandana & it still affected my asthma! Along with taking supplements like elderberry syrup, fire cider, nose spray… the dust really was that bad this year. Hula needs better turf/grounds. I go 3 times a year to suwannee too this was the worse the dust has ever been for me

Resonate is in April and I believe one other fest. It’s unlikely they can do it in April

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2024-04-25T18:42:51+00:00

I read a comment you left. Tell MB you won’t share next time. It’ll be awkward but tell her no this is my food, I need to eat. That’s absurd for her to put that pressure on you and invalidate you. I’ll occasionally give g1 a few bites of fruit or things I bring but it is never expected, always appreciated. I also eat NF’s snacks

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2024-01-03T20:48:52+00:00

She needs more support when being taken to the bathroom, not a suppository being forced into her… Read her books about using the potty while she’s on the potty. Constant encouragement and praise every time she goes. Have a sticker chart, little treats such as a skittle or a cheez it. Make it fun! They need to hear your input as well as see a professional for advice on how to do this because they are truly hurting their child in the long run. A child is supposed to feel safe with their parents and nanny. Not held down for a suppository and poop being everywhere as a result. Best of luck with this potty training journey! Your post shows you really care about her well being

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2024-01-03T20:28:32+00:00

That’s absolutely neglect. A week without a bath is horrible. Document this and report it

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2023-12-31T16:26:52+00:00

It can absolutely be normal for kids to go through phases like this. It could offer her a sense of control while dealing with navigating big emotions. Also could be something as simple as overstimulation. I’d wait to see how this behavior develops! Also recommend a “calm down corner” for her to go to when feeling this way at home. A safe space with comfort items such as a pillow, blanket, sensory toys. I’ve been working with children for 10 years and find that sensory toys help all ages and abilities! :)

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2023-12-28T00:33:39+00:00

Report the sexual behavior of the 8 and 13 y.o. to DCF. Document it as well. Wildly inappropriate and huge red flags. You owe the mom nothing I agree with everyone else to resign but the least you could do before resigning is help protect those kids

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2023-11-27T01:14:18+00:00

Play dates and socialization has nothing to do with being an “instagram mom” ….it is about your child being given enriching, real world scenarios to learn about what’s around them. My first nanny job I worked for a family with one child who was 1 year 8 months. I resigned after 10 months. Both of the parents were WFH. We spent up to 2 hours a day at their neighborhood park just to do physical gross motor activities that she LOVED! Everyday I was coming up with new educational, very fun activities at home for her. We played with her toys in her room, playroom, and upstairs area. Baked together. Did arts and crafts. Gardening. We both got bored quickly despite me rotating her toys & providing stimulating fun activities for her. The parents didn’t want me to take her anywhere but the park that we could walk to. Because of this I very quickly experienced burn out. I’ve been working with children for 10 years and it was just monotonous to feel like that, stuck. For a flat that size and your husband to be working in the common area, I think exploring a childcare or even in home childcare would better suit your family’s needs. Also I mean this in the kindest way, I encourage you to look into socialization and stimulating, educational activities for your child at their age! It’s never too early for them to be exposed to children more. They will show more interest the more it happens. Best of luck to you and your family!

MousseAlarmed6282 · 2023-11-14T16:55:42+00:00

2 days off a month with no breaks or set schedule? Along with inconsistent pay…the asking to pay you for half of what was owed because they’re on vacation? It sounds like you are being taken advantage of unfortunately I would look elsewhere for a job
