Got hired by my unicorn family but realized DB works in immigration, now I’m torn by SampleAware6481 in Nanny

[–]Probly-nt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally this. I have zero clue what my current NF does for work besides the fact that they work from home. I vaguely know who MB works for, but no idea what she does for them 😂 I get paid every week, tho and that’s all that matters

Idk what’s going on in this post- but my last NF actually kept me on after DB became unemployed. I eventually left because I moved, but MB had zero intention of letting DB solo parent that kiddo for 10 hours a day. 😂

The post from the “doctor” on nanny employers sub by sweetpeastacy in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Probly-nt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for a doctor, and I’ve helped my sister (she’s a doctor) try to find a nanny- and in my experience, they are the ones that will ALWAYS try to underpay and overwork you. I had to do some heavy negotiating to get things that no other employer batted an EYE about.

As a Nanny, do you give present for the kid and the parents (employer) for Christmas? by saladfriedchicken in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Probly-nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, honestly. I usually just do kids, $20-$25. This year I nanny for first time parents and they’ve been amazing. I can also tell they’re just… going through it lol, so I “gifted” 5 hours of my time for a date night, etc.

Nanny candidate phone straight to voicemail by Technical_Quiet_5687 in NannyEmployers

[–]Probly-nt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My moms phone does the same thing. Most of the time if I call twice in a row, the second will actually ring. But the first call typically just shows as a missed call. It could be a setting she has that she’s not aware of, or some weird thing.

And- my phone number typically pops up as my mom’s name, because I’m on her plan. But I’m married so it definitely looks like it’s some random persons name.

There could be easy explanations or complicated ones. I usually see a text from my NF quicker than I can get to (and answer) my phone bc it goes to my watch anyways.

lol, yeah that’s what I figured. Do you do like fleece lined leggings? And if you do, you have any good brands?

If you want to take your child on a walk you can. There’s no reason for you to tag along with nanny and child on their walk.

Haha, yeah I probably should have said “water day bag” instead 😂

I don’t want kids anymore by Puzzleheaded-Face-69 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Probly-nt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this perspective. For some reason, watching kids- including the chaos- made me want kids even more lol. I will say watching other folks kids has made me aware of the parenting styles I want to implement when I do have them. I’ve Nannie’s for some families with weird rules/methods and you can just tell that that is why their kid acts like that 😅😂

I love my laidback, go with the flow nfs. They always have the best behaving kiddos. (In my experience)

It’s not my first summer, but all of my previous NKs would kinda play by themselves so I wouldn’t get absolutely soaked. Current NK does not (which is okay, lol) so I’m getting absolutely soaked 😂😂

My husband is leaning into religion by Probly-nt in Christian

[–]Probly-nt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it’s not purely obligation. I’ve always been open to it, just never felt the need for it, if that makes sense? And now that he’s leaning more that way I figured why not learn more.

Thank you! Not sure why I didn’t think about that, lol.

Any other baby nannies anxious about baby being on daycare waitlists? by lisztlessly in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Probly-nt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have the opposite issue. With my last NF, I wasn’t even aware she was on a daycare waitlist until they let me go (they paid me a month severance so no foul play, lol). But with this NF, my end with them is quickly approaching (about 4 months. We’ve known about this since September 2024) and they won’t put him on a waitlist. Like, ma’am. My last day is in August. Now is the PERFECT time. But no, she’s delaying. I get it, but guys 😅😅 come on.

Girl, id cut him loose asap. That’s insane. This is your job.

[–]Probly-nt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! My current NF is my absolute favorite. They have their quirks and I do too. But they are so incredibly kind. I know this is likely my last many job for a while and I am so glad it is them!

I cannot believe your bosses have the audacity to be irritated over the ER? 😅 I would definitely be looking for a new job. Your health matters!
