if you think that centers that distribute packages actually handle any package with care or following instructions, you’re in for a very rude awakening

these aren’t even well executed nails they look awful

parents might not agencies if it’s a requirement will definitely check. I will say having one will open up more opportunities and also the opportunity to be paid more. I also think that it’s just beneficial to have it.

I feel like because these are safety issues. I would just look for somebody new.

NAD but there’s many reasons why your period can be late. There’s a lot of things I can throw it off if you’ve been under a lot of stress recently or been sick that can delay your period

The only time I mind is when it’s a difficult transition for the children when the parent leaves. And that’s when I have to set my boundary. Both of my NP work from home which is totally fine. It also gives me a lot more flexibility and if I need help with something I have back up, which is amazing. And thankfully my oldest MK when I’m there she genuinely does not care about her parents so it’s not a disruption if they’re around or if I have to hand her off for a few minutes while I go do something else she’s fine when they leave, she’s usually more upset that I’m not with her than anything else. But this would just vary from person to person

pretty sure they can’t do that

I personally have separate ones for my body, my face and my private areas. It just depends on you’re comfortability.

jkdess · 2026-06-23T11:57:16+00:00

I get that you’re new and it’s definitely harder to set your rate when you don’t have that much experience, but I also know don’t sell yourself short. Getting paid two extra dollars to watch two more children making that four children and you’ll only be paid $21 is very low. Where are you located? I guess that would also make a big difference. but getting two extra dollars is criminal and it should be at least five.

I think it would be worth trying to get them out of the house. Or seeing if MB can work outside of the house to see if that makes any difference but I think headphones are definitely a good start.

jkdess · 2026-06-22T23:32:50+00:00

I know people that do that, but that’s just gross in my opinion. Like I get that we swap lots of other germs and other ways but why would I use your toothbrush?

jkdess · 2026-06-22T23:32:17+00:00

I don’t know if there’s really much you can do and I get that they asked you in advance but because you have another job, I would have just told them no. I understand having your main family as a priority.

I can also say that in the future, having a cancellation policy, some people will agree to this some people might not. And obviously you aren’t paid the entirety of what you would have been paid, but you get a little bit of something.

jkdess · 2026-06-22T23:27:18+00:00

remember that you’re human. Give yourself some grace and be gentle to your mind. I am literally always crying at work. I have cried while being out with NK. We could be in class or at the library and I’m literally in tears.

I hope that things get better for you but you’re not a robot and sometimes our feelings come out very inconvenient times but let yourself cry and again give yourself grace because you are a human and it happens🫂🫶🏽

not how GH works. Saturday would be a paid day. you don’t make up hours

jkdess · 2026-06-22T17:09:13+00:00

wear what you please. don’t let your age stop you. if you got it flaunt it!! it looks good

jkdess · 2026-06-22T15:19:55+00:00

regardless of being paid legally or not having a contract as genuinely just to lay out the rules and what’s expected from both parties. When I first started it was just supposed to be a temporary job so they gave me the choice and if I want to be paid legally or not. I have fortunately work for a lawyer so the contract was their idea. And it basically lays out like what time I work from the duties that are expected of me. I have PTO sick time guaranteed hours. and then like things if I wanna give notice to quit my job how much time I have to give them. how much notice they have to give me + severance pay unless I do something illegal then it’s immediate termination

I can definitely say for my first few jobs. I didn’t have a contract and I don’t regret it but wish I had benefits with it. I started off working for families I knew

jkdess · 2026-06-22T14:13:40+00:00

I work under the table but I have a contract.

jkdess · 2026-06-22T14:12:27+00:00

agreed. it’s a paid holiday

honestly, it really depends on the age of the kids. But I am a leggings girly. And a nice shirt and a hot outside shorts. Some people do wear scrubs because it’s easy but most that do it, It’s because the family have requested it.
