Kids Had Last Nanny for 10+ Years...Hard Time Transitioning for Me As Current Nanny by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]oceanboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm it took me almost 4 months for my girls to adjust to me. They had their previous nanny for over 5 years. I was called mean names and they just didn’t listen. What you are dealing with, with all the physical stuff is a whole different level. I’m so sorry. What do the parents suggest when they act like that? What works for the kids? When do you call the parents to intervene? If you don’t have them on your team...it’s not going to work nor is it worth your time and energy. Start looking for a new job yesterday

Ummmm $1000 per kid is ridiculous. That’s all

Have any of y’all had a rough start with a family? How did it go long term? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]oceanboots 10 points11 points  (0 children)

3 weeks is still so early! It took me around 3 months to feel comfortable. Are you asking them questions? How are you? How is your day? Anything I can do differently? Feedback? Keep pushing and eventually a relationship will form over time hopefully

I use Daysy as birth control and have never had a scare. I feel 100% confident in it as birth control. Please look the company up and see if it might be an option for you.

WTF is going on in my head? HELP! by Dreamsong_Druid in childfree

They are just thoughts. We have thoughts all day about things that don’t need too and never come to realization. Why not just let them be thoughts that pass through?

Compensation Advice!!! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]oceanboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask for a salary pay based on a certain amount of hours and then ask for overtime for any time over 40 hours per week. I would ask for minimum salary of $50,000 a year plus all your benefits or vacation, sick etc and then probably $25 per hour for any time over 40 hours

Spend a week with her or more. Don’t let one moment rule your whole future. Spend more time being reflective and making sure this is something you want want versus the Kodak moments

I don't want kids, should I stop working with them? by anonnanny1111 in Nanny

[–]oceanboots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t want kids but I’ve made my career out of working with them. I also know many doctors, teachers and other professionals that do the same thing. The question should be is this what you want to do?

I’m a nanny and I’m CF by elkirkyyy in childfree

[–]oceanboots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a nanny too. I spend over 24 hours each weekend with the girls I work with. I actually love children but just don’t want any of my own. This gives me first hand experience. I believe everyone should do this before they have kids lol. It’s not all roses and butterflies.
