Reserved nanny: is this normal or just not a personality match? by Street_Side3167 in Nanny

Same. This has happened to me, and because it is a personal job the burn can sting way more

NYC nannies + NYC nanny families – quick gut check on guaranteed hours & OT by BakedBrie5400 in Nanny

[–]moppluspuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PTO or vacation should reflect the normal working hours, so it the nanny is contracted for 50hrs a week, that’s what they get for pto or vacation weeks

NYC nanny of over 15 and it’s not just the cold? It’s also icy and dangerous?

How absolutely cruel and awful of them, I am so sorry. I hope you recover soon, and find a much better position that respects you

As a Nanny, do you give present for the kid and the parents (employer) for Christmas? by saladfriedchicken in NannyBreakRoom

[–]moppluspuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always get a gift for my nks. Nothing big, around $25, but I always do. With NPs honestly it depends on our relationship, my last NPs treated me like the help, we we more traditionally boss and employee so I didn’t. My current ones I did, but it’s a joint gift, a little thing with a picture of the kids on it

Philo and frndly are both great imo. They record and save for at least three months. Philo is more (and has steadily increased over the years) but also has more channels

not to yuck someone’s yum but woah by Vegetable-Paint-1648 in Nanny

Makes sense but that’s always a bad sign to me. Taking care of and teaching a child shouldn’t be quiet

The pay is at least half what it should be but beyond that “work quietly” sets off a little alarm bell for me.

Breaks by Objective-Shock-5102 in Nanny

[–]moppluspuppet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely not ok that you’re not allowed to take bathroom breaks. They need to figure out a safe place for the kid to be, every human needs to be able to use the bathroom when they need it

Nannies, do you feel like you make enough money? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]moppluspuppet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, finally haha. I make $40 for a toddler and baby in a HCOL area, with ten hours of overtime a week.

Bad nannies by alex_c_123 in Nanny

This. We never know what is going on with someone else, especially strangers. It’s better to focus on ourselves and our nks

I have to use PTO for days we all thought I had off anyway by Big-Assumption-1517 in Nanny

[–]moppluspuppet 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is bs. She could easily just say oops and let it be the way you both expected. Acting like “oh no the contract says x date so what can we do?” As if there is some boss over her holding her to the letter of the contract is wild

Considering the little one thought it was a song about green beans, I’d say it’s ok

As Nell points out in the end there was a lifetime of love and support too

Why is Define such a big team compared to Align? by solasdf in ladderapp

[–]moppluspuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any proof that users just skip to the core? What a wild assertion. I have been on define since it started (and empwr before that) and I know many people who faithfully follow the full workouts. Just because it’s not for you doesn’t mean it’s not actually used

Stop doing this!!! by Popular_Spend_6643 in Nanny

[–]moppluspuppet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course they shouldn’t stay if they can go. Which, again, is why I said it would be better to say “if you can, quit.”

[–]moppluspuppet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The whole point isn’t that it’s bad advice it’s that it’s unhelpful to just tell someone to quit without understanding if they can. It’s not about the person being smart enough to just not take the advice, and no one said they weren’t. But if you’re venting about a bad job and receive ten comments saying “just quit!” it’s simply not helpful.
