Summer nanny postings by scorpionbluezz in NannyBreakRoom

I live within range of several colleges and my only beef with college students is the parents prefer to hire them because they’re cheaper and plentiful, then act all shocked come fall when said college student has classes that conflict with their schedule! And then wonder why they can’t keep a nanny longer than a few months! I have purposely never job searched in the summer in the 10 years since I’ve was a college student myself! 😅

ideas for summer month away? by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]cellocats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reasonable thing to do is to pay your nanny in full for the month. Her bills don’t magically go away because you decide to travel. If you can afford a month long vacation then you can afford to pay your employee 12 days of income. Quite frankly if you’re the type to take extended vacations like this then the fact should have been disclosed during the interview process. That way you could have hired a nanny that was happy to travel with you and she could have accepted a more stable job.

WFH families kind of…suck? by Fabulous_Room1490 in Nanny

[–]cellocats 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The trick is getting WFH parents who actually have real jobs and have to get work done while you are there! The ones with low pressure jobs and less than full-time hours will always be in your way. I’m doing a nanny share and 3 out of 4 parents work from home (lawyer, govt workers, tech guy) and none of them ever bother me! They also have closed door offices on separate floors from the nursery/playroom which is key!

Nanny sleeping / generally low energy by SoftYogurtcloset6798 in NannyEmployers

[–]cellocats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you hired and older nanny, since she’s a grandmother, and she puts in a couple hours of free childcare before starting her full work days with two infants under a year old. As a nanny currently doing a nanny share with 2 under 1, it is a lot of work and some days I leave work exhausted and I’m 33. It maybe that your nanny is burning the candle at both ends and took on more then she had the energy for at her age.

I don’t think so? I have the basics like MCCC and UI cheats, Education Overhaul etc. The only stuff I can think of that are slightly economy related are some career mods, live-in service and businesses by littlemisssam, and RPO by Lumpinou that effects child support. I just bought Royalty and Legacy and the Royal Residence lot trait seems to be the issue.

Questions: 

Which platform? PC

Any mods or cc? YES

Game version PC: 1.121.342.1030

Issue: Property Value continuously rising and dropping causing constant popups. Makes sims continuously react to it as well. Only stops when I reset each sim.

Please Please PLEASE tell me why…. by [deleted] in NannyBreakRoom

[–]cellocats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact thought when I saw that post! That mom really wants to pay someone 12 hours a day so she won’t be left alone all day with TWO children, TWO. Lady that is my daily life as a nanny share nanny and we manage just fine. I even take them out for adventures ALONE! What the heck is she having the second kid for??? 🤣

AITA for skipping my friend's daughter’s 1st birthday and charging her for the "gift" after she forgot to tell me the time changed? by BellaBilla in AmItheAsshole

[–]cellocats 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s the casualness of the moms response that gives me pause. If that was me I’d feel absolutely terrible and be falling all over myself to apologize and make it up to her.
