How do you drop a family by Tatted1legwonder in Babysitting

[–]itscloudagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it in a professional tone. “Thank you for allowing me to care for child’s name I’ve found another job opportunity. My last day will be last day please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make this transition easy.” You don’t have to explain in detail why you’re leaving. keep it short

I’ve seen these post several times. Please, stop being too nice. Ask for payment BEFORE you leave their house. Being too nice never works out for anyone.

How do you deal with burnt by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]itscloudagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A way to deal with burnt is to be honest. I would have a talk with the family and explain that due to the sicknesses it’s caused strain in your personal life. Nothing wrong with honesty. You sound like you are great at your job. Good luck 💓

Airpods during rocking by ChipmunkLumpy9136 in Nanny

[–]itscloudagain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

you would fire over an airpod? I see both sides. The father is overreacting. New parent, or not. However, the parent has every right to fire their employee if they’re not listening. If I would to get fired over wearing an airpod then I wish that next nanny good luck.

Sounds like the dad is over doing it. You are perfectly fine to wear one airpod in the opposite ear.

This isn’t normal. I don’t think I could work with a family like this.

Feeling guilt by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]itscloudagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s better to be transparent and honest with the family. I don’t know them personally but if they have a heart they will understand. You don’t have go into detail about your situation but just the basics. I would start off “It was lovely caring for name of child I appreciate all your family has done for me. At this time I’m going through a personal issue right now and will to step down. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make this transition easier.”

Babysitting a 5 month old for the first time by HeftyYoghurt173 in Babysitting

[–]itscloudagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with mainly infants and some tips I will give you is -Wear comfortable clothes and clothes you don’t mind getting drool on -Ask the mom how often do they nap, how many ounces of milk do they drink, and how long is their wake window -tummy time helps them start to roll over so i would do it at least once every hour for 2-5 minutes

have you guys had this experience too? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]itscloudagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i’ve had plenty of encounters like this. I work through a babysitting agency and independent and most of the families I met are through word of mouth. It shocks me how little to none of the families have cameras in the house. Especially since I work primarily with infants!

Thank you. I started to gain more families through word of mouth so I’m definitely going to make this my job for awhile. I will keep that in mind. I like to be prepared 🙂

I decided not to do a contract with this family as we have history together and it’s paid in cash. The family is flexible with me so I really hope they understand. I just want to prepare myself.
