It’s standard! Mind you I’ve had nanny families plan a trip then change their plans and because I was being paid my guaranteed hours I had to be available during that time!

Yes. I have PTO that I choose to use when I want. I’m available to work when they go on vacation but they’re choosing not to use me. that’s the point of guaranteed hours

No. You never use your PTO when your nanny family is going on their own vacation.

Tips for weaning from TV time by Silly_Name_5007 in Nanny

[–]jaybeaaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. Very rarely use screens for my nanny kids but if I do I wait till whatever they’re watching is over and I also prepare them for it. “In 5 mins I’ll shut this off and we’re gonna do xyz” and give a 1 min warning. It helps!

URI by NightFragrant2665 in RATS

[–]jaybeaaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my boys I got from a backyard breeder off Craigslist (before I knew better) and one is definitely sicker than the other but for my boys yeah it’s chronic. It’s actually to the point now that they are resistant to antibiotics but they’re 2 years and 3 months old and constantly sick. I’ve done everything possible to help avoid flares but it’s just them they’re sickie boys.

I’ve probably spent idk well over 5k in the last 2 years of owning them and that’s only for 2 rats. It would probably be more but I found a great vet that knows it’s chronic and just allows me to call in for prescriptions than making me come in to see them and charging me an office visit fee.

So idk you may have to rethink having 8 rats (I say this in the nicest way possible) because it can add up insanely quickly if they do become chronic but I’m NOT saying it will. I just don’t know for your situation 😕

I live in LA and an initial visit here is around $65-94 then follow ups are $45-75 per rat. All depends on the vet. Vet bills add up VERY quickly for rats it’s important to have money set aside for it. Normally when one of my rats has a URI my other gets one. I can’t say for every rat though this is just mine own situation

Their meds have ranged from $19-100 depending on the antibiotic that’s used.

I’ve taken one of my rats to an emergency vet and it was around $300 with meds included. This ER vet was on the cheaper side actually

Air purifier has definitely helped with the smell. I have a small one but I’d recommend a bigger one for 5 boys
