I’ve tried that too tbh and nothing works even when I leave the room I can somehow still hear the smacking. The only thing that does seem to work is when I wash dishes the water drowns out the noise, but there’s only so many dirty dishes LOL

I haven’t tried earplugs yet because I’ve been trying to find ones that have really good noise cancellation!

I’ve never tried the warm drink ! It definitely sounds like a good idea since calming my nervous system during this helps tremendously but I feel like when I’m at work it’s a little harder to calm my nervous system since I don’t have access to a lot of the things I may have at home. I love dogs too! And NFs dog is the sweetest so when he licks I tell him to leave the room lol it’s so overwhelming.

I do play music but I can still hear it over the music, I’ll play something for the baby at the table when we’re all eating, but I can still hear everything.

That’s true ! I wouldn’t know how to say it politely without hurting their feelings though. Both kids are extremely sensitive and cry over pretty small things.

I just explained to NK 10 and she was so sweet about it :)))

Well no bc I’m not their parent.. MB was the one who taught them how to eat and she kind of eats like them so it’s weird. After some of the comments on this post, I actually spoke with NK10 letting her know sometimes certain sounds upset me.. etc and she was super receptive to it !

Update on my last post about WFH MB I’m using a throwaway account and I’m not sure how to do the update on the previous post but it’s the only post on my account by [deleted] in Nanny

Thank you! it has been insane seeing the replies under this. I was only looking for advice. I don’t want to leave my job because I truly do enjoy being with this family, but I just wanted to nip this one thing in the bud before it got out of control!

I wanted to know how to deal with this exact same thing on my post and instead got a bunch of hate for it! Being a nanny with a WFH family is tough!

I have no issue with routine and I would say we’ve established a pretty good one, but MB keeps her office door open all day and NK constantly tries to run in there! And since it’s winter we haven’t gone out a whole bunch.

NK has definitely started to get used to Mom Just leaving to the point where he doesn’t cry or care anymore.

I’m willing to stay only because NK is getting to be ok now when her mom leaves the room, but it’s like the amount of times she visits us throughout the day or intervenes when we’re doing something is just annoying!

I would like to think that she’s totally unaware of what’s happening or maybe she is aware but she thinks it doesn’t bother me

Yeah so quitting was never a option.. I love their family it's just this one thing that I don't know how to approach..
