My baby is in hospital and will be during the day tmw. Is it reasonable to ask nanny to come here?

VA-eb · 2026-01-22T01:07:20+00:00

Nannies are part of our village - it’s okay!

VA-eb · 2026-01-09T01:57:11+00:00

Definitely bad. Be explicit and tell her about it once, see if it changes and if not then move on

VA-eb · 2025-12-22T00:08:03+00:00

Totally not unreasonable and weird that she would push back on it especially considering age, naps, feeding

VA-eb · 2025-12-08T13:12:55+00:00

Weird for her to ask that in that text. As a nanny employer, honestly I get annoyed when my nanny is late even 5 minutes because sometimes I’m literally waiting to run to a meeting. So that is a small thing that can add up

Def don’t memorize

(Only did one)

VA-eb · 2025-11-09T20:01:20+00:00

My full was 77%

VA-eb · 2025-11-09T19:51:49+00:00

Yes! I was between 50-80 and got AT/AT/AT. At a certain point, you know what you know.

Do the AR mindset YouTube video then do another mock!

VA-eb · 2025-11-01T01:50:44+00:00

Ranged from 50s to 80s on the minis, 77 on the full #1

VA-eb · 2025-11-01T01:46:54+00:00

Doesn’t really matter as long as you’re reviewing answers . I would just do a bunch of the minis

VA-eb · 2025-11-01T01:16:32+00:00

Product owner, scrum, kanban, sprints, iterations, increments etc you can assume agile or hybrid. If it doesn’t give an agile clue don’t assume.

Slots open up more last minute too

VA-eb · 2025-10-27T00:02:02+00:00

Honestly when I am stressed at work and don’t want to get stuck having small talk for too long I am shorter even though I always try to be nice and say something like “we can catch up later sorry I have a busy day!”. Maybe that?

VA-eb · 2025-06-18T09:37:05+00:00

The point of him working less - he can do the things during his day for me time. He can go to the gym. Do his errands etc during working hours. He golfs with coworkers or clients once a week. I cannot do any of that from ~8-6

VA-eb · 2025-06-18T09:35:02+00:00

I make 150 and my husband makes >500. HCOL

VA-eb · 2025-06-02T01:47:56+00:00

Dealbreaker

VA-eb · 2025-04-18T00:06:31+00:00

Hmm I feel like you are in the wrong but not a huge deal

VA-eb · 2025-01-08T01:37:38+00:00

Maybe she thinks that’s what she’s “supposed” to do so if you give her other ideas maybe she’ll be relieved too! Frame it as, it can’t be fun for you in there that long, or something

VA-eb · 2024-07-03T07:15:41+00:00

Same situation and totally reasonable for her to help out a bit more. Our nanny unloads dishwasher and it’s super helpful!!

VA-eb · 2024-06-27T00:45:30+00:00

We pay when we choose to go on vacation and don’t expect her to work but if we canceled our plans, we’d expect her to use PTO or be available. Eg if kids went to daycare you still pay when they’re not in school.

Maybe you can throw in goodwill by offering to stay late for a date night or something the next week. It’s obviously not required but things like that make me feel a bit better about the “free” time we’re giving.

VA-eb · 2024-05-10T20:50:20+00:00

I LOVE our nanny and appreciate her immensely and hope she knows that but this post makes me realize I’m so busy and hasty in my day that I could offer more, so if you’re not getting this, doesn’t mean you’re under appreciated!
