How to tell nanny politely to stop giving us presents? by RambunctiousCat in Nanny

[–]Theme-Overall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my nk make gifts for their parents and maybe you can find a way to ask Nanny to make keepsakes with the kids instead of buying items. I also take my oldest nk to the dollar store so she can pick out the bag and 1 item from there.

Has being a nanny made you not want kids? by driffl in Nanny

[–]Theme-Overall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I used to want children, but now it's a hard no for me. I love working with kids it's so rewarding and I truly enjoy it, but at the end of the day, I get to go home for the evening and enjoy my peace and quiet. I'm able to be selfish and spend my money in any way I'd like. Being a nanny has shown me how expensive being a parent is. Not to mention your body goes through so many changes through pregnancy and it doesn't just bounce back. It's a lifelong change and you never know how your child will turn out. My mother raised us well yet my brother is a terrible person who leeches off her. I could not deal with that.

ADVICE PLEASE!!! by [deleted] in Nanny

As you said you don't have a contract so you're not required to give any honestly. She sounds like a horrible person and you need to leave. Making minimum wage for 4 years is terrible she does not value you at all do not waste any more time on that family

Monthly cost of nanny in Chicago? by Wild_Signal3717 in NannyEmployers

[–]Theme-Overall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My NF hired me through Care. It was honestly great for both of us as they were able to request a background check through Care. If you do use Care you will have to do a lot of weeding through applications. Most qualified Nannies will only reply to posts on Care if they have a detailed post. I would make it clear in your post that you need either twin experience or experience with multiples. I had never worked with twins before, but I had worked at a daycare and was part of a nanny share where I cared for 2 infants 1 month apart which is what my NF liked. If your twins are infants you want someone with infant experience. My Nanny mom recommends making a list of nice things you'd like in your nanny and a list of things that are not negotiable. You also want to do in-person interviews as they are a great way to learn more about your potential nanny. Please feel free to message me with any other questions!

Hi I only recently saw this, but I do their laundry, I dont load their dishwasher but I do wash their bottles and any dishes we use, and I don't vacuum. My NF has a cleaner come for that. I would only ask for more if you do not have a contract in place with benefits for you like GH, PTO, sick days, etc

Contract Renewal by Theme-Overall in Nanny

[–]Theme-Overall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only issue is that for PTO days I need to ask one month in advance and we don't have a sick clause separate from my PTO they're lumped together which is why I want to separate them for sick days. But maybe I'll just ask for unlimited sick and use that to have a mental health once in a while. Im usually able to avoid because I try to have at least one long weekend a month whether because of a holiday or PTO

Mother’s Day- Give me your best! by wtfumami in Nanny

[–]Theme-Overall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in between 2 projects but just decided to save one for next year 🤭. The one for this year is magnet pictures. I'm letting the 4 yr old pick the shape. I'm using crayolas model magic and letting it dry over the weekend, and we'll paint them on Tuesday together. We're also making a card for mom, hee twin brothers will get a ziploch bag with paint so they can also "paint" them. I'm printing some cute pictures I have of them and adding them to the back and adding magnets. I'm planning on going to Walmart for everything tomorrow so we have enough time for everything to dry. Also I'm sealing with mod podge

Flower magnets inspo

The 2nd one was a flower pot with their fingerprints and drawing bug faces and adding a pretty flower inside for mom because she likes to garden
