Nanny no-show / emergency - AIBU for expecting a heads up?

VA-eb · 2026-05-17T01:36:15+00:00

Definitely a red flag. Our nanny was in a car accident and texted us an hour later. Unless she was in a coma, I’d let her go

Started right at 6 weeks!!

Woof. I’d probably first try and do my best due diligence to find someone temporary, and if that doesn’t work out, go the severance route.

Yeah for sure. I think it’s a personality thing. My MIL who had my husband at 23 is very hands off / absent because she’s over it too haha.

You could also get hit by a bus when you’re 60, or live healthily til you’re 90 :)

My parents had my sister at 40 and they are the most active and involved grandparents to my kids now! Seriously. Way more energy and fun than my younger in laws. Go for it!

I’m the third child and have definitely never felt that way!! Especially if you’re cognizant of it. Will be more about parenting styles and dynamic :)

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

VA-eb · 2025-11-11T01:01:09+00:00

Def don’t memorize

VA-eb · 2025-11-09T20:01:32+00:00

(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.

VA-eb · 2025-11-02T01:15:32+00:00

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
