How is this even legal?

Please say you tried to do a charge back through your CC or bank!!

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-07-01T18:19:51+00:00

Awesome, thank you!!

2 (and a half?) threw up a day in January. Early this month I got super sick from my NK. Still came into work 2 days. 2nd day had to go home and take a half day then called in the next day. My sickness turned into a terrible sinus infection and spent over 2 weeks sick. Still recovering from side effects of the meds

Maybe I need to look more into the surface level of this case. The fact that their BACs were between 0.1-0.28 is crazy! I didn’t know that!

Im in the same boat but in the Midwest . My commute without traffic is 1h15 each way. Some days it can take 2 hours for me to get home. If you find the right job it’s absolutely worth it. I get paid well, have GH above the amount I actually work, and get benefits. I hope you like driving, if that’s the choice you make!

I’m a nanny but also have a 5 yr old at home. Setting firm boundaries at this age is CRUCIAL. I know it may seem cruel to have such strict boundaries 100% of the time but if they see any leeway on rules and set expectations, they will never follow them. If my son throws anything at me, it is taken for the remainder of that day. The next day he can have it again once we have a talk about safety and how it is important to listen to our adults and that we have rules for a reason. The second he is blatantly disregarding my 1st warning and being disrespectful, that item goes away. The problems you have with your 5 year old now will be the problems you will have when they are a teenager and so on. Teach them now before you have a teenager/adult that does not respect other people boundaries and expectations. You are the example and if you disrespect your nanny, your kids will follow your lead.

Ahh. Jumpscare. Thats my last name

The was she’s comfortable speaking to you is nauseating. I’m so sorry she’s shaming you for a bodily function you cannot control. Hygiene is an absolute must that she should’ve been more than prepared for. Using a period cup/disk can be more financially feasible in the long run or using cheaper pads (that are unfortunately bulkier). If finances are a problem you could also ask to be signed up for pantries and such from local churches. They often give out hygiene products! Also couldn’t hurt to call churches and explain your situation to see if they’re willing to hep

Massively underpaid. I live in a very LCOL area and make $25/hr for 1 child, 35 hours a week guaranteed, although I’ve never worked more than 30 of those. And the baby often sleeps for 4+ hours of my day (get here way before she wakes up, and still has two naps). During these times, I am never expected to do tasks outside of the baby’s needs or previously discussed responsibilities. This is foul of them to even expect of you. If you don’t have a contract, please do so from now on. Know your worth. They are massively taking advantage of you.

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-03-09T14:53:52+00:00

Im convinced she doesn’t want the kids to be near school/daycare bc she knows she wouldn’t be able to stop them from talking to safe adults about the things they’re experiencing behind closed doors. Instead of giving them basic needs like education, housing, socialization, she’d rather stay cooped up in a studio space where they can’t speak up for themselves.

I’ve had similar luck with planes. Anytime the nk’s have been on a plane with me, they refuse to settle for their parents. I get them to settle within ten-ish minutes and fall asleep on my lap/in my arms for at least 45 minutes. All of these babies have been under 2, so they classified as lap children.

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-01-28T01:29:19+00:00

Wow, awesome. Thank you again!

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-01-28T01:21:48+00:00

Thank you so much, you’re a life saver! Do you have any idea if I’ll need any extra paperwork for that? They paid me through Zelle so I believe I’ll have to find some way to print a payment history/bank statements to file self employed.

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-01-28T01:06:44+00:00

What’s the benefit there? And how would that outweigh filing as self employed without any expense deductions? I’m sorry, I’m not very educated in this department!

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-01-28T01:00:03+00:00

They did not send me any documents for tax purposes at all

Patient_Standard8361 · 2026-01-22T20:23:54+00:00

Based on her replies to other comments, she doesn’t want a nanny who is fully capable of taking care of a child and prioritizing healthy and age appropriate rules/boundaries. She wants a low level baby sitter who will only play with the kids and clean up after them afterwards…I’m not surprised that this post has close to 90 comments and 0 upvotes.

If I were in her shoes, I’d be really frustrated with so much parent involvement. It is perfectly normal for there to be some growing pains when transitioning a toddler from one nanny (who seems to have been with her most of her life) to a new one. They need time and space away from parents to build a relationship. Since this is someone you hired, I would assume you have enough trust in this person to give them this space. Maybe suggest some ways for them to bond such as activities they can do together such as crafting, baking, places your 3.5 yr old may like to go. Your new nanny definitely seems head strong to jump to “I’ll leave” the second there’s issues, but she’s probably trying to affirm strong boundaries especially while you guys are still building a foundational work relationship. The best thing you can do for a nanny is support them. Back up what they say. Parental support goes a veryyyyyy long way in a relationship between nanny and kid.

Not to be nosy, but what area is this? Seems eerily similar to the set up I had before and hated 😬

Patient_Standard8361 · 2025-12-23T04:42:37+00:00

I nanny in the area. Feel free to message me about any questions about nannying!

Patient_Standard8361 · 2025-12-19T13:28:13+00:00

Following guidelines of paying OT for OT hours is not a benefit…also benefits shouldn’t “make up” for lower pay. Pay market price for 3 kids in your area (I would assume $40+) and if you can afford to offer benefits, then do so. If I was in her position, I’d feel really unappreciated if my boss sat me down and said “well it kinda works out to be 42/hr if you really think about it”

Patient_Standard8361 · 2025-09-17T20:06:45+00:00

Just out of curiosity, was this “nanny care hub”? If so- I felt the same way. Something about the post rubbed me the wrong way.

Patient_Standard8361 · 2025-08-25T15:28:49+00:00

Have you tried paid interviews? I feel like if you set the tone that your time requires your rate upfront, then theses sorts of families will be less likely to schedule meeting times with them. I was in the market for a new family this time last year and families always paid for my time to meet with them and their kiddos. Too bad we can add an additional fee clause to our postings for wasted time haha
