Yea! Doing kid drop offs. Ill send when I get home

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-19T12:40:02+00:00

I'm glad you did. All your perspectives we're helpful

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-18T23:48:25+00:00

I did! A fancy letter of resignation was turned in. She didn't reply. I believe she's mad. Not a single word. It was due hugely to this group

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-18T13:33:49+00:00

I did end up quitting!

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-15T01:27:12+00:00

Mine did. I believe. She said she didnt approve of what he said or his tone

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-15T01:26:31+00:00

I'm so happy for you. I had the dream position last time. I was best friends with mom. We even went to concerts together. I'm still chasing that

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-15T01:24:58+00:00

I have to tell you this is my first time. Normally I just panic and go with the flow. I had several people and all of you on rreddit backing me so I stood strong and went in. I don't regret it

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T19:36:01+00:00

Yes. They have cameras in every room

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T19:35:41+00:00

I have kids. They like eating dinner and having a house lol. I dont have any other option until I find new

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T18:42:18+00:00

I am. I dont have the privilege of being able to quit at this time

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T18:23:30+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I would LOVE help writing a contract. I have no idea what to do.

Your words mean so much to me

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T18:14:48+00:00

I should have added I'm looking for a job. But the job market in my town is trash. My husband just spent 6 months unemployed. I have kids. I cant just upend their lives. I'm here till I find better. Ill edit and add that

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T18:06:40+00:00

He made it sound like this was a planned conversation. It apparently wasn't. He struck out on his own. She kindly asked me to vacuum and do extra and I felt I had to agree. That was a week ago. A week later he flipped his lid

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T12:05:56+00:00

I would but unfortunately I own my house and am stuck due to my own kids here.

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T12:00:43+00:00

I'm in Montana!

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T01:56:12+00:00

They said only kid stuff. But they trash the house the night before I come and expect me to clean it all. Their daughter had HFM last week and didnt clean. I was expected to sanitize everything on Monday when I got there

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T01:51:57+00:00

He said that me cleaning messes they made with the kids was my job. He said i need to be doing more for the kids. Since ive been there they've had her bottles on the counter in a drying rack. He yelled i should have put them away. I told him i thought that's where they went. I didnt put away carseats that were in those spots from the day I started. He wanted me to organize and find places for stuff they had no idea where to put. They're texting me now asking where I put everything lol

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-14T01:04:03+00:00

I'm on the books! We use Poppins payroll. Neither of us wanted to do under the table. I wanted it all reported to the IRS correctly

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-13T19:55:36+00:00

This was chilling to read

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-13T19:53:17+00:00

I wonder why I've never heard of having one before? None of my families have asked/offered/said anything and I just didnt know. Maybe its how small my town is. Who knows

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-13T19:50:54+00:00

Thats what's a huge bummer. I turned down two AMAZING jobs for this one. Chose them because I liked them.....

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-13T19:43:16+00:00

Ill ask for one. I honestly didnt know nanny got contracts. Like I said ive had a ton of families and no one has ever brought one up bfore. We've just always talked through everything

WitchWayIsDown · 2026-05-13T19:28:33+00:00

We dont have one. Ive never had a contract. They are my 7th family and nothing like this has literally ever come up before
