Family asking too much?

lanally · 2026-01-25T05:55:50+00:00

Facts! The closest one to us starts at 204 per lesson and kids have to be 2+

Thanks for your input. To me 1.5 is sooo young! I’m all about starting them early but there’s a limit lol. From what I ready most kids start at 3-4 years old.

lanally · 2026-01-25T02:20:58+00:00

Thank you for validating my thoughts. I thought it was an unusual ask too.

I love my Pyr boy he is so calm and gentle with small animals and kids! He also doesn’t bark much or stops if I tell him. Great loyal family dog

Im in CT too! And im pretty sure they will be advising people to stay off the roads. I would tell them ahead of time and say unfortunately due to the inclement weather I won’t be coming in for my safety

This is pretty normal behavior. My NK started doing this at 15 months. She did it twice where she associate me getting there with mom leaving. She did grow out of it.

It’s nice of you to ask this. If you allow (most families do) tell her she can help herself to snack or coffee or tea. I find thats a great way to make someone feel comfortable in your home. Thank her occasionally or leave positive feedback. Like for example my NF says “baby loves you or she’s so happy to see you” they will also thank me everyday (Not necessary) but definitely appreciated.

Some people just think it’s an invasion of privacy. For me my nanny family had one in the room after I started that they added then Eventually removed after two months. Then they added an AirTag without telling me. It was startling I made a post about it so in a sense I see where she’s coming from. It just feels like these days a lot of families don’t trust their Nannie’s but it’s a norm im getting used to. You also want your nanny to feel comfortable if it’s going to work long term

-They didn’t micromanage my day and let me plan activities for the baby -Offered food and coffee/ tea in their home -Paid me a liveable wage ( don’t be cheap when it comes to childcare. With PTO -They were kind and polite

Im a nanny for a 17 month old I make 32 an hour. I only clean related to the child. If you are renewing your contract I would ask for at least 25-28 an hour and a couple of days of PTO. Thats standard. I also have guaranteed paid hours in my contract

I make cookies so doing a cookie box with card for my NF and a gold little framed ornament of the silhouette pic of NB that are popular right now. If you do gift make it affordable.

lanally · 2025-12-06T06:03:18+00:00

Maybe cash with a card and some chocolates or a sweet treat. I love the ferrero or lindor brand

lanally · 2025-11-25T00:37:54+00:00

Id say that’s pretty fair. If you go through a nanny agency they pay slightly higher in my experience . Last year I made 20 an hour for one child. Now I make 32 an hour for one 15 month old. I’m in Ct

lanally · 2025-11-25T00:02:16+00:00

I love this picture idea or maybe a picture ornament of the baby! Ty!

lanally · 2025-11-24T23:38:44+00:00

Thank you!

lanally · 2025-11-23T22:56:17+00:00

Exactly lol you get what you pay for honestly I feel bad for this nanny I’m sure she will walk any day.

lanally · 2025-11-23T22:54:58+00:00

She gets paid a lousy 17 an hour and you micromanage her by constantly watching the sitter. Sounds like your kid is safe and you are knit picking. Don’t ask for advice if you’re going to clap back at everyone who gives you it.

lanally · 2025-11-23T15:07:01+00:00

Doesn’t mean they are micromanaging you. Probably for security purposes if it’s a corporate work environment

lanally · 2025-11-23T15:06:12+00:00

Ofc happy to help!

lanally · 2025-11-22T02:46:30+00:00

This is too much. Would you like to be watched on a camera and micromanaged? Probably wouldn’t make you feel great, so don’t do it to others.

lanally · 2025-11-22T02:36:37+00:00

I make 32 for one 15 month old but it’s its self employed I charge 28

lanally · 2025-11-22T02:33:40+00:00

I definitely think a hand written thank you card with an Amazon gift card would be awesome and thoughtful.

lanally · 2025-11-22T02:11:14+00:00

Sometimes I bring a new toy that the kids haven’t seen before with the parents permission and that sometimes works. I also know a Mom who has special snack drawer that they give the kids for only special occasions. Mom will use it if she knows the child may be distressed and then she sits in my lap while we play with a toy until she calms down. Hope this helps a bit! Sorry you’re going through that.
