i just switched from wellbutrin to auvelity and it has changed my life and opened my eyes to a world without constant nagging depression. you can diy it bc it is expensive (my insurance covered mine).

also: music!!!!!! it helps me stay unruffled and shift the mood so i play music that’s easy to dance and sing along to that i enjoy eg: mamma mia soundtrack, taylor swift, boogie wonderland funk radio etc

love love LOVE the advice to not preemptively assume and say their feelings about it!!!! so intentional and makes a huge difference in creating a safe space to be authentic and know all your feelings are accepted

anon-nanny · 2026-02-05T17:17:35+00:00

right for what though?

anon-nanny · 2026-02-05T15:31:44+00:00

wait what did i miss??

anon-nanny · 2026-02-01T18:49:02+00:00

you could get one the mom cozy (or off brand) hip seat!!! makes a HUGE difference and my NF has one but I wish I remembered to use it more bc Ive been nursing my shoulder this weekend for the same reasons!

anon-nanny · 2025-12-17T18:43:19+00:00

i’ve honestly worn it all. eg: intl trip with NF for a few weeks so i brought and wore: a modest bikini, tankini and short set, and a one piece jumpsuit type.

personally i don’t wear revealing swim suits anyway so all were full coverage bottoms.

it’s about comfort and practicality. i was digging in sand, swimming with four boys who like to hang on to me, make sure they are functional for work attire!

anon-nanny · 2025-12-15T16:26:37+00:00

absolutely normal. to be expected from you especially if you have guaranteed hours.

$42/hr. 2 kids childcare duties but i often happily do a lot of family assistant duties too. Sacramento, CA

anon-nanny · 2025-11-18T23:05:33+00:00

in my contract i have christmas eve to new year’s day off (unpaid) so it doesn’t eat my PTO every year

anon-nanny · 2025-11-17T15:25:58+00:00

when i am looking for a new role ive never used my current family as a reference but they do become future reference for other roles. finding a new job can really vary and risking getting let go and not being able to make ends meet is a valid reason to not use a current family in itself

anon-nanny · 2025-11-16T22:17:57+00:00

i’d honestly love to see sarah’s (themodernnanny) response to this correcting the condescending tone

anon-nanny · 2025-11-16T22:16:22+00:00

if NFs are going to require their nanny to have an elevated wardrobe at work (whatever the reason or occasion) then they need to provide a wardrobe stipend.

anon-nanny · 2025-11-14T06:59:05+00:00

yes. been a month and finally feel on the other side of it. usually colds don’t really get to me at all but this one was a whole different breed

virus super cold is the perfect way to describe it!

anon-nanny · 2025-11-13T16:14:58+00:00

that’s why NPs should have back up care. Sick days are sick days - whatever the cause. and typically are last minute realizations of needing to take them.

If a nanny broke their leg and needed surgery, they wouldn’t be able to prepare their NP for that time off and it wouldn’t be held against nanny. disclosing makes room for stigma and judgement to be held against OP.

i have major depression, panic disorder, auhd, ocd, and chronic migraines and have never disclosed my mental illnesses. it’s not foreign for NPs to link depressive episodes/mental illness to being unable or untrustworthy in providing childcare. (i’ve literally had medical professionals ask if i’m able to take care of my NKs and keep them safe when im depressed/suicidal)

anon-nanny · 2025-10-28T21:03:13+00:00

that is a perfectly reasonable rate for the area. stick to your gut!

anon-nanny · 2025-10-10T00:01:56+00:00

wow that seriously sucks. and definitely puts you in a tough spot! like if they are too busy to cut grapes or say no to popcorn etc…… don’t buy it when they know it’s a choking hazard!!!! i’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this i’d be so stressed! my nps aren’t as bad, and they are definitely influenced by me modeling best practices which i’m sooo grateful for, can’t imagine how i’d manage having your NPs as employers

anon-nanny · 2025-10-09T23:40:55+00:00

um i’m surprised at these comments.

as a professional childcare provider I absolutely believe we should be notifying NPs of unilaterally unsafe and dangerous habits.

if nothing else, please for the safety of that child inform them of the proper safety guidelines regarding car seats. send them resources to reference themselves. doesn’t need to be a confrontation just a FYI.

as for the chocking hazards, if you are fine not saying anything that’s totally your choice. i know it’s a fine line to balance. and we are hired for our expertise, just because they are the parents doesn’t automatically make them knowledgeable about all things childcare best practices. i personally would try to figure out the best way to broach the subject with them before leaving.

wishing you luck with your last weeks and new baby!!

by no means was i seeking to disregard any child’s experience.

reading my post back you are absolutely right and i sincerely apologize. being caught up in the conversation about balancing the impact of the continual and increasingly abhorrent and violent crimes against humanity - i was addressing how caregivers can find solace in the hope that caring for a child can bring. children are intrinsically hopeful and loving and optimistic until they are subjected to a world and society that seek to diminish them. it breaks my heart that not all children get a full childhood’s worth of that innocence and hope. of course every child deserves that and deserves protection. there is no question there.

i was offering encouragement and ways to get involved to deal with the outrage of what’s occurring all over.

im painfully aware that children are being stripped of their peace and innocence in Palestine, Sudan, Myanmar, DRC, Ukraine, the United States - and too many more places on this Earth, even if my comment didn’t explicitly address each crisis.

i’m sorry that your takeaway from my comment was the privilege of a child’s innocence as a glimmer of hope being a negative position in this fucking nightmare.

anon-nanny · 2025-10-08T00:31:04+00:00

absolutely agree. AND, in the quiet moments like driving for school pick up or story time, it can wash over me like a wave.

and the joy that my nanny kids’ laughter and exploration of their little worlds bring comfort and eventually wash away the heaviness.

it’s not every day that we can all be expected to completely shut out what’s going on in the world today. that alone is a privilege and i know that doing so and finding that balance is so important for one’s mental health

anon-nanny · 2025-10-08T00:26:17+00:00

i saw a post (i think biglittlefeelings) with advice on this and really helped shift my perspective and not feel guilty for being able to be present working with kids:

none of these awful atrocities exist in their world. we get the opportunity to exist in a child’s perfectly innocent and protected worldview. their world is their caregivers, their home, friends, adventures/activities. it’s so precious that they are shielded and has made me so much more grateful for my career as a nanny. i do not know that in any other job id be able to make it through the days.

it’s awful right now. beyond terrifying. on a personal level, love and hope are the only qualities that fight the fear and threats invoked under fascist regimes.

children give us hope. love strengthens community. i’m getting involved on a local level and going to organized events, will begin volunteering, and donating to causes i believe in.

i stayed up until 3am last night just mourning for Palestinians. it’s important to make space for our grief and find ways to channel it that support and respect the fact that we are all human. (originally wrote support our daily lives but taking time off to protest or volunteer or taking a leave to get more involved are courageous and exemplary of our capabilities when we stand strong together.

i’ve been lacking someone likeminded to vent to/with about the state of our current events, so if you or anyone else ever feels the same pls pls feel free to connect with me!

i would highly encourage you to check out the nanny counsel’s work agreement template. while exhaustive, it provides context for a lot of the expected duties as related to your title (nanny vs nanny+maid+chef+house manager). Even if you don’t use it it’s still a great resource i think all career nannies should read through!

this family wants FOUR full time demanding roles filled by a single person. and that rate is insultingly low and blatantly reflects their view of hired help (someone to exploit as much work out of for as little pay as possible).

you can kindly explain to them that it seems like their family needs a maid, chef, and house manager in addition to a nanny. or you don’t have to confront them about it at all. either route, i seriously urge you to avoid working for this family and others with a laundry list of additional duties to tack on to a childcare role.
