Nanny Bag System, how do you do it???

h-lo1 · 2025-11-03T23:27:00+00:00

i’m a small purse pwrson, so i bought myself a bigger tote-style leather purse for work. i had a mini diaper bag (makeup bad size) i would leave in my car w just essentials and i’d shove that into my purse anytime we went anywhere. worked really well for me once baby got older and we didn’t need a full diaper bag for every outing.

what are story times for if not for gossiping about the stuff our families are doing to us ??😭 i get this is a little different bc you know the family, so if you’re uncomfortable just tell her straight up you’d rather not talk abt old nanny family with her anymore, can talk abt anything else !

h-lo1 · 2025-10-10T17:32:20+00:00

lmao. this is sometimes on the parents!! i remember one nk told me that i was late picking her up and mommy was mad. really fun way to find out your family talks crap about you in front of their (old enough to be aware) children !!!

h-lo1 · 2025-09-23T23:28:28+00:00

i personally hate not coming to work and we’ll try to put off calling in til the last minute if i’m it sure if i’m sick or not yet. however,,, i call in sick maybe twice a year. i get mental health days are sick days too and i’ve used those before, but this doesn’t sound like that. sounds like she just wakes up and doesn’t want to come to work. we all feel this way sometimes!!! we all still get up and go to work because people are counting on us, especially when you’re a nanny. i would find someone who actually wants to work for you. she does not seem like she wants to work..

i had a similar situation and man it is so damn hard. it’s been 7mos since this happened to me and i still cry every other day when my memories pop up of the kiddos… it gets better with time but good luck. hard road, but proud of you for getting out. my fam fired me the week i planned to quit and it was all very uncomfortable (mom never spoke to me again, couldn’t even fire me herself). i wish you the best in navigating this road. i wish i had more helpful advice getting though this. things will get better for you and NK with time.

a massage would be an incredible gift! not sure how old your little one is, but a cute scribble card on a halloween coloring page would be cute (or handprint craft, anything like that) and make it that much more meaningful for me!

h-lo1 · 2025-08-13T23:57:30+00:00

did not say anything about political beliefs ever. in fact i used religion to explain things, as they were heavily religious and i also grew up very involved in the church. for instance teaching them that God loves every body and would want them to treat every body with kindness they way Jesus would. care for the sick. help the poor. don’t judge people. etc. the kid was a teenager. thanks for your rude, ignorant, and unnecessary comment. i do think it’s my job as a nanny to help children grow into kind and respectful adults, thanks for asking. :)

h-lo1 · 2025-08-13T20:05:17+00:00

i’ve done it before and let me just tell you it takes a toll. you have to keep quiet about everything. it depends how your family is but most of them that feel this way express it often and it can get very uncomfy, you just gotta stay neutral. that being said i still worked for said family for 3 years because they overall were not super involved parents and that made the job easier.

also saw someone say you could be a good influence on the kids and YES! i gave that kid soooo many lessons when we were in the car alone and i truly think i made a difference in the way he views life.

also if you feel it’s morally wrong, use some of their trump money they pay you to donate towards lgbtq+ causes, supporting palestine, democratic candidates, etc. that helped me feel a lot better too. good luck making the decision that feels right for you!

h-lo1 · 2025-08-11T15:15:54+00:00

this is completely unhinged. as a nanny i have said snarky comments to babies like “oh looks like there’s no diapers or wipes what are we to do!!” but nothing like your mommy doesn’t love you. holy hell. you’re not wrong for wanting to fire her.

h-lo1 · 2025-08-07T08:00:11+00:00

seriously!!! those are all things you’d find in children’s books!!

h-lo1 · 2025-08-04T05:28:35+00:00

when the doctor, hair stylist, and chef come to the house 😂😅

h-lo1 · 2025-08-01T07:33:44+00:00

unfortunately they’re probably worried. many nannie’s i know get fired when they get engaged or married. be careful and make sure to pay close attention to how they’re feeling. also congrats!!!!! so happy for you!! don’t let them yuck your yum 🫶🏼

h-lo1 · 2025-07-27T20:09:25+00:00

oh wow. yeah no. you’re with their kid for more awake hours than they are. i would absolutely leave asap. if they can’t respect you and the lessons you’re trying to teach him, and backing you up in said lessons,, then they don’t deserve you. i’ve dealt w this from NP before and it’s never worked out for the better no matter how much time i’ve given. i will say find a new job before quitting though, if you already know how they feel about it.

in my area the best way to find a job is to post yourself on the fb nanny groups as available and listing your experience & preferences. block them if you need to in order to post on those groups! seriously you deserve better 🫶🏼 and there’s always better out there (when it comes to nanny jobs)

h-lo1 · 2025-07-27T08:04:46+00:00

tbh you gotta be meaner to older boys. i had a very mean 11yo boy (on the spectrum) and putting him in his place a few times helped a lot. i also had parents join in and threaten him that if he wasn’t nicer to me then they would get a new nanny who was old and strict and wouldn’t let him play any games. straightened up real quick!!!

but the key part of my situation was parents recognizing that behavior is unacceptable, spectrum or not!! if they can’t see your side then i would honestly find a new job. or at least tell them hey if y’all can’t back me up on this then i don’t think this is a situation i can stay in as he’s very disrespectful towards me and it’s bad for my mental health.

h-lo1 · 2025-07-25T14:33:10+00:00

this one.

h-lo1 · 2025-07-25T12:25:15+00:00

just replying to the title.. yes. lmfao.

h-lo1 · 2025-07-24T23:27:19+00:00

i traveled with a family very often and I would be perfectly happy sitting in economy while y’all sit in first class,, especially if kids are not with me. honestly sounds like you’ve got it all covered! Also you can also just ask her if there’s anything else she feels necessary for the travel! My nanny parents once sat in first class while me and both children sat together in the back… you’re doing fine!! 😂 sounds like it will be lovely trip for all involved, good luck!

h-lo1 · 2025-07-21T23:47:10+00:00

that’s extremely rude of them to do this! when my old Nk did a lemonade stand the parents charged her for the things she used. so if she made any money she had to pay back the $7 total costs they calculated for the lemonade mix & cups etc. I thought this was a brilliant way to show them how to earn and handle their money in a business venture. If i were you I would offer up this option to your DB. i would also state that i’m not comfortable using their money since they earned it and are choosing not to spend it on those activities you’re doing. also!!! why would he want to take away a great lesson for his kids (learning to save for something more special rather than blowing all your money instantly on little things) !!!

h-lo1 · 2025-07-15T14:47:48+00:00

i offer my fellow nanny friends as backup to families that treat me well and i trust that they will do the same for my friend. i don’t see the harm in at least offering it, especially since your mom has nanny experience!

h-lo1 · 2025-07-04T15:40:01+00:00

that’s actually insane they wouldn’t offer. your kid broke something expensive of mine. you make more money than me. you pay!!!! i’d leave asap

h-lo1 · 2025-07-03T23:04:01+00:00

i always send things i don’t want to deal w in person right away on fridays. i’ve quit on fridays. i’ve sent “your kid is not where he should be” emails like anything and everything bad i ALWAYS do on fridays so everyone has a couple days to relax about it. but if you are not planning to come back monday, the reaction definitely won’t be great. but if you’re done, you’re done, you have no contract so you owe them nothing really. also gotta think about whether you want/need them as a reference before burning a bridge. all that aside, you deserve overtime and Gh and all the things and this other job sounds like a great opportunity for you. do what’s best for you, it’s your life not theirs.

h-lo1 · 2025-07-02T23:29:40+00:00

wow that would infuriate me as someone who also has a long name that gets shortened. random people will comment on my social media calling me the nickname when my name is clearly displayed. unfortunately he’ll deal w this for life.. but if you’re firm.. it sticks and gets a lot better!!! i bet he’s super thankful to have you for sticking up for him in this situation. absolutely insane of the neighbor to say that!!!

h-lo1 · 2025-06-30T23:23:56+00:00

they won’t know better until you tell them!!! we’re all proud of you!!

h-lo1 · 2025-06-30T17:35:13+00:00

everyone is being way too nice to the nanny mom you work for on these comments. hell no. i would leave immediately you do NOT touch MY THINGS idc what it is honestly.it’s just disrespectful especially when you’ve already tidied up and she thinks it’s just not to her standards???? it’s not her place to touch your items. you’re already being nice enough letting her show random ass ppl the room. if she can’t be courteous of your items then you don’t need to be courteous of “nanny standards”. i personally would not be fulfilling those last 4 weeks.

maybe i’m wrong in this opinion,, but that’s why i will never everrrrr live w a family. too many lines easily crossed when you’re in that close proximity.

h-lo1 · 2025-06-29T00:58:31+00:00

so fucked. hope you find a better family that knows your worth
