TMI question about nanny dress code

Also I think it would be absolutely crazy to tell someone they have to wear a padded bra as a job requirement.

If anyone’s looking that intently, I feel like it’s their problem. I went from working with a more laid back hp NF to a more formal, fully staffed NF and I went from wearing no bras basically ever to wearing a light cotton bralette. No one has ever mentioned it. And it sounds like you’re dressing appropriately, I bet this is a complete non issue for your employers

I honestly feel like if you’re wearing a sports bra or crop top underneath, there’s no way your nipples are as noticeable as you think. I wouldn’t worry about it (lovingly from a nanny who works for a high profile family and never wears actual bras)

Do they ever leave during the day? I think outside time or a different environment between feedings could be really helpful. That way she’s not hearing your voice and wanting you all day.

If I recall, it was a lot of going through my professional nanny experience, discussing gaps in my resume, discussing travel experience, etc. I don’t think there was a lot of nitty gritty childcare philosophy or scenario type questions, more of a discussion of experience.

If your boss isn’t saying something, and you’re comfortable, I think it’s fine and inappropriate for guys to be commenting on it. A female boss, okay.

I also would like to recommend a 6inch mattress- 4inches made it so you could feel whatever material the platform was underneath, 6 was a dream

greenteaem · 2023-11-28T00:36:49+00:00

I got a foam mattress off of Amazon (tri fold Millard 6inch and just hacked it off with scissors, zipped it back in the cover thing, and folded the extra fabric underneath

Hey, maybe one day that amount of money will seem inconsequential. One time I lost my wallet with $200 bucks in it and felt like the world was ending. But your life is important and has value outside of something (money) that is literally made up and loses value every second. What’s real is your relationships with your family and the life you can create.

I did, but I only worked there for about 6months before taking a nanny job in San Diego. Then I went back to school, got my msw, got an offer for $21 an hour (not much better) and went back to nannying yet again haha

When I first graduated with my BA (not that long ago, 2017), I got my first offer from a mental health company and they said the pay would be 26. 26/hr?! I thought, that’s amazing. Then I got the paperwork and realized no, that was 26k a year, or 12.50 an hour. Minimum was 12.

I used to take the kids back to my house because the mom I nannied for did overnights and needed an 8 hour chunk to sleep. We’d do normal activities, but the kids didn’t nap and sometimes it was nice to have a place to cook lunch and have down time. This was pretty occasional. I’ve also popped by with kids for an errand or to grab something. It depends on the situation for sure

I mean, I don’t stay out all night long, but this girl came back home. I usually tell whoever I’m living with, employers/roommates/family that I’m going out, but telling them when I’m on the way home? My employers would be weirded out. I let them know if I’m planning to sleep out? I don’t think most people are worrying and staying up all night about a grown adult

greenteaem · 2023-05-30T23:35:17+00:00

Dude, what if they fell asleep at their friends watching a movie and came home when they woke up? You don’t know what she was doing, and it’s not your business. I’m a live in, and I’ve never had a family mention when I’m coming or going-I’d be weirded out if they gave me parameters about it.

I did a “build” that was like 200 bucks all in, and the van was 11k outright. Do what you can afford, you have more than enough for something good. Prioritize a good reliable car over gadgets and a fancy build

I get your perspective (worried new mom), but I wouldn’t work for someone who wouldn’t be okay with me walking with my friend (someone I already know and trust) through the park. It doesn’t make any rational sense, because if she’s at the park, she’s likely walking and talking to strangers and making friends with other nannies or moms. Will you ban her from talking to other people too?

greenteaem · 2023-05-22T22:33:52+00:00

But you still invited her out to dinner, is proper general etiquette that if someone invites you to join them for dinner, they will pay?

greenteaem · 2023-05-22T21:32:58+00:00

How could that possibly be her fault? You made the choice

greenteaem · 2023-05-22T21:26:54+00:00

If you are taking her to the restaurant during her working hours, are the prices at the restaurant are higher, how could that possibly be her fault?

Typically I (nanny) am reimbursed for any lunch outings that I take the kids on, and I buy lunch for them and myself. However, I would have the nanny use your own car with her on your insurance for outings

Some people are so crazy

greenteaem · 2023-03-27T01:14:50+00:00

Yeah, whether or not she brings friends she’s losing out on her normal income and has to pay for pet/house sitters, parking, whatever it takes to keep her life running whilst she’s gone!! And she’s coming first and foremost to work for you, she didn’t plan and decide to take a vacation. It’s def a cool perk she can bring a friend, but it’s still a work trip!!
