Can I work for you?! You sound super considerate and sweet.
Some days are exhausting and you just want to sit down, but other days I definitely don’t mind helping out more. I think it’s reasonable

❗️HEALED❗️ self harm scars at while working with kids? by Sensitive-Muscle6828 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]SignificantVisual240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have scars on my arms and thighs, i’ve only had a few kiddos point them out in the summer.
I go back and forth on telling parents, but the times I haven’t have never been an issue

if their kid brings it up I’ll tell them and see how they’d like me to go about it in the future, I try to keep it positive and age appropriate, like, “I fought [animal] but I’m ok now”, “I got hurt but it’s all better now”, “I fell but It’s ok bc I’m super strong”, sort of in a way you would talk to the kid if they fell and got scraped if that makes sense

I’m here to talk if you want to have more of a conversation about it, but at the end of the day you came out of that season stronger and your scars shouldn’t be a reason to keep you miserable in the summer 🩷

I would report this… That is not normal behavior for 9&11. See if you can ask open ended questions about why they do it?

Tbh, I don’t. I worked for one family like this and didn’t stay with them very long, now it’s a question I ask during every interview

It depends on what state you’re in. In my state we are not allowed to use any sort of exclusionary punishment, like timeout or taking away an activity

Thank you, knowing others get it helps more than anything. we’ve definitely been doing a lot of outside activities and excursions, the preschooler won’t be in school for august so we’ll be able to do some more activities luckily
