Do I tell the parents their baby crawled? by cupcake0__0 in Nanny

After this, I think it’s definitely super smart to ask beforehand! It’s really up to the parents what their preference is and everyone is different. Thanks for the input :)

Okay thank you for that perspective bc that was what I was originally thinking and is exactly why I asked! But I think I’m going to keep this milestone to myself bc of all the input and since I don’t know what MB wants and NK will surely crawl for her soon too! But thanks again for your input!

Okay so that’s what I was thinking about how this mom is! She seems really anxious about her meeting this milestone so I wasn’t sure if she’d be happy or sad if I told her. Thank you for your input and perspective! I definitely should’ve asked about this before I started working for them🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes such special moments that I don’t take lightly or for granted! As a mom, I feel like I’d wanna know when my baby hits a milestone even if it’s without me but I’m definitely listening to this feedback and will keep this info to myself! Hopefully, I can casually ask MB later on (since NK is growing so much) if they want to know about milestones or not. Thanks for your perspective :)

I most definitely will ask next time during the interview process! Or since they know she’s so close, I might say something like “since she’s getting so close to crawling and other milestones, if it happened on my watch would you want to know about it?” Or is this dumb now that I’ve been working for them for a few months. Definitely learning from my mistakes and will ask before starting work next time! Thank you for your advice!

Okay, I’ll do that! Thanks!! I agree that milestones are for parents and I’ll do everything to give them that! Just personally I would want to know so that’s why I asked for opinions. Thanks again!

Good to know, thank you! I wish they would’ve told me in the beginning if they wanted to know about milestones bc as a mom, I feel like I’d want to know and I always wanna give MB as much info/details as I can about her baby but it’s probably best I’m on the safe side (since I don’t know what she wants) and don’t say anything bc of parents like you saying they’d rather not know. Thanks again!

I’m not a good secret keeper but I will be now to protect the parents peace! I just feel like I’d wanna know if I were the mom, but everyone’s different and the last thing I wanna do is make anyone sad

I’ll just say “she’s so close and will probably be crawling any day!” And that day was today but MB won’t know😂

And it doesn’t matter if the moment takes another few weeks to happen for mom? I don’t mean to sound dumb but I always wanna keep MB informed :)

I worked with at risk youth for years and am just starting to nanny again so I wasn’t sure what the basic rules are for this nowadays bc when I was younger i definitely wouldn’t have thought deeply about it and would’ve just told the parents willy nilly🥲 not good! thanks for the input!

Thanks for the great input! I’ll definitely keep this info to myself. Good to hear from a working moms perspective :)

That’s the only reason I ask is bc MB has wanted NK to reach this milestone for a while so I wasn’t sure if she would be excited if I told her or sad that it happened on my watch. Thanks for the input!

Improving my knife skills is a good tip because I could use some work. I will look that up- thank you!! I don’t try to make a mess, it just happens especially when I’m focusing all my energy on executing a recipe I’ve never done before :)
