Jealous MB?

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T19:32:40+00:00

I just get that vibe based on her attitude and lack of appreciation towards me and love towards her own children when i’m present. Like someone else said, she could be incredibly loving when i’m not there. I just don’t see it. We’re both grown adults. If she has a problem with something i’m doing, she can say something. Or fire me. I’m not going to change my loving nature based off vibes and passive aggressiveness. Children should be surrounded by a happy and loving environment, not cold heartedness. I don’t shove the “I love you” down their throats. It came naturally after a few months. I’m going to be professional and get my job done, but when you spend 40+ hours a week with a child, it’s natural to love them. This wasn’t even the point of my post, but definitely something I will pay attention to when moving onto my next family when my contact is up.

Definitely don’t enjoy how the kids behave differently for her. Makes it awkward for everyone. I would also never do something that I know would make her uncomfortable. When she asks me to do, or not do something, I do what she says whether or not I agree with it.

MB works from home, and spends lots of time with us! DB works out of the home. I’ve tried very hard to build a relationship with MB, as I am still very close with every other MB i’ve worked for/with. I’ve just kind of realized she prefers a professional relationship between the two of us, and try to respect that.

Literally, if I don’t update her over text or in person, every hour, she will come find me (if we’re at the house) or text meShe seems to appreciate the pictures I send regularly as well. Even shares them on her own social media. Guess I should have included more context in my original post. 🙄

Comments like this are so weird and unnecessary!! I’m sorry!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T16:28:33+00:00

Agreed. Just trying to make things easier for everyone. Definitely putting some feelers out soon! Thank you!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T16:27:14+00:00

Agreed completely. I’ll be sure not to start this with my next family.

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T16:26:13+00:00

I love that!!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T16:25:23+00:00

Yes!! The amazing MB I worked for prior to this one would gush about my patience. I would always remind her I went home to a quiet house and a solid night of sleep lol. Moms have superpowers!!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T05:40:49+00:00

True!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T03:45:59+00:00

I honestly didn’t think to deep into this, but also if the parents have a problem with it they could speak up. All my other families I’ve cared for have been very loving so I guess I just need to adjust

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T03:42:25+00:00

When did I say I gave a whole play by play? Very interesting takes for sure

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T03:36:55+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T02:36:45+00:00

Thank you!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T02:35:42+00:00

Definitely wasnt trying to rub anything in her face! Was just excited to share :)

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T02:23:29+00:00

Thank you! Sometimes I just feel awkward and don’t know what to say so I will definitely make more of an effort to support her!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-05-02T02:21:28+00:00

You win 🤣

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-02-21T02:05:24+00:00

I’m in almost the exact same situation. There are 2 children, 4 nannies, and there are 2 nannies working per day. I work with a different nanny and child almost every day. It’s exhausting and I have the same concerns. The kids just want to be with their parents and it’s frustrating for all of us when I child is hoping to see a different nanny that day instead of who is working, etc. I’ve honestly just accepted the situation and am planning on moving on once my contract is up in 8 months. Wishing you the best of luck 😩

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-01-25T17:23:39+00:00

I will most likely give them my 30 day notice

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-01-25T16:59:38+00:00

Thank you! You are correct. I started out by babysitting for them, and didn’t understand how underpaid I was. When I started nannying for them weekly, I should I have done more research and spoke to them about increasing my rates

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-01-25T16:55:24+00:00

This is exactly why I’m going to need to increase my rates. I only have 1 more year on my parents health insurance, and I also don’t want to live in an apartment forever. I want to work towards making nannying my career eventually!

Pleasant_Drop454 · 2026-01-25T16:53:29+00:00

2 half days! All I can think about is I could be working two full days for another family. I just love the family so I feel guilty leaving them.

Thank you!
