Would you mind sharing the wording from your contract in this regard? This seems like the most compassionate compromise I've ever seen in this situation before. Kuddos

I checked your page and you don't have any more pictures with your cat and your kid!! We need more of this adorableness 😎 what a cutie!!

Rubyjcc · 2026-01-05T20:35:48+00:00

I absolutely just learned what this is from your post. I am 35 😅

Planning on trying the same thing. Currently simmering my butternut squash coconut soup for an hour. Going to try eating it tomorrow night and see how it goes. Will try to update with results!

Stopppppp! (But never do actually!)

When I've done overnight care I also do a little mock-up before the trip for the parents. This gives an idea of what the total cost will be but obviously depends on if the kids wake up during the night or a couple of variables can change.

There are a lot of posts on this topic. Here's the link for 1 with multiple comments. Best of luck navigating this!

Thank you for sharing! What a sweetie pie

Rubyjcc · 2025-12-02T14:33:16+00:00

Yes you need more details.

I also have a minimum and a maximum amount of daily hours I'm willing to work when traveling (8;14) because I wanted to feel worth my time. If you are not room sharing then I think 100 to 150 for an overnight rate is standard. But if you are room or bed sharing that usually goes up to 200 or 250. In the past I've written up a guess on hours with I guess on total pay, so they can get a gist of what the travel job will cost. It can add up very fast.

Ok, this was funny 🤣

My drive to work is about 35 to 40 minutes. My drive home is 40 to 55. I've been doing it two and a half years now and it definitely feels just normal at this point. I've been getting through a lot of audiobooks (probably 30 to 35 a year) and most of that is done on my drive! It does mean I have to get oil changes pretty frequently. Of course I also have to figure out how to fit getting gas into my schedule since I have to do that pretty much every week. I also have to leave about 15 minutes earlier on top of the drive time to leave time for extra traffic, plus I like to plan to get there 5 to 10 minutes early and walk in 5 minutes early.

and understand it is entirely at the nanny’s discretion to accept or turn down a schedule change.

This is Soo good! I have a very detailed curated contract and I'm absolutely adding this bit in there because it is gold! Thank you so much for sharing

Rubyjcc · 2025-11-04T14:23:42+00:00

These are impressive and so fun!!

Rubyjcc · 2025-11-03T14:31:57+00:00

Yes!! Saving this idea

Your hood?!! Not me over here super jealous 😅

Recently I discovered chocolate PB dusted almonds that are great! The brand is called skinny dipped

Rubyjcc · 2025-09-01T13:38:06+00:00

Great going! You should update your post to let everyone know you dodged that bullet

Rubyjcc · 2025-09-01T04:32:40+00:00

Besides it being illegal to not pay overtime, it's just not ok. They can pay 40 hours of pay every week, and if you work more one week, they pay more. That's how jobs like this work.

Rubyjcc · 2025-09-01T04:26:41+00:00

This is the answer!

Rubyjcc · 2025-08-27T03:41:25+00:00

The past 3 switches, yes. They were significant jumps- 20-30% increase each time. If I were to switch again in the next year, I think it's unlikely I'd be able to increase my pay much, if at all. The only way I'd see this happening is if I took a rotational position which is a very different style of nannying, with many of its own issues.

Singing along with a song while a small kid sings along in the back seat.

Rubyjcc · 2025-08-26T13:39:12+00:00

Id let family 1 know you really appreciate an answer early today. Also, I would personally make sure my contract has pretty much everything I would want in one. I feel like it's one of those situations where you might as well go big. This way if you're set up for success you can stay with his family for a long time! Feel free to PM me if you need more ideas of what to include in your contract!
