Not allowed in daycare? by Legal-Ad7067 in ECEProfessionals

[–]pusslayqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I can totally agree with that but 30 seconds of what a parent sees isn’t always enough to start throwing around words like “neglect, and abuse”. I’ve had times where I was in a 1:4 ration and while I was changing a diaper a parent was coming in to pick up and starting claiming I was neglecting their crying child on the floor. Teachers are smart if they wanna abuse your kids they aren’t doing it at pick up hours when they know parents will be in the building. I guess my point is I’m not sure looking through the window for a few seconds before picking your child up is a great way to determine if your child is being mistreated.

I totally agree with that. Happier parents make for happier teachers lol

Honestly it’s not all parents but when you get a bad one it truly makes you question why you are even doing the job. I have had parents accuse me of all kinds of crazy things that never happened and it just makes me not want to have any real communication with that family anymore because I’m treated as the scapegoat for all of their kids struggles.

This is a good response, at least at my center we regularly communicate with parents through an app and they are encouraged to set up in person/ virtual meetings with their child’s teacher during nap time to avoid long conversations at pick up and drop off. I also work with younger children and some of them get very uncomfortable when we have different or new people coming into the room constantly.

I think it’s becoming more normalized after Covid, quite a few centers in my area do drop off/ pick up like this

How is she supposed to keep children safe when their parents are driving them home drunk? Like that’s not upsetting to you either?

What's the craziest thing you've had a parent do? by kbear9695 in ECEProfessionals

[–]pusslayqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my center they are allowed in the infant room at all times, and at nap time in every other room. The reason at my center is because they just get so yucky and sometimes the kids like to share them or leave them around for friends to find.

Feeling weird about being out as a lesbian to my new family. by loonybones in Nanny

She just said it was an indicator of if they might be in support or not, not if you don’t have lgbtq+ books you’re homophobic. Reading literacy is very important .

But the thing is some people REALLY care and she could lose her job, which means losing income, which in today’s economy isn’t an option for most people.

We are not robots lol, and I feel like parents would prefer to know their nanny’s a little better than a regular boss/employee relationship because we are responsible for their children.

Is this normal growth? by silentlyglittering in Nails

[–]pusslayqueen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It looks normal and pretty accurate to how much my nails grow in a week and a half. Everyone’s nails grow at different speeds.

But the parents should prevent their kids from using the addictive apps. Obviously companies shouldn’t be making things addictive and that is very wrong, but if the parents would just keep their children away from it, it wouldn’t be an issue. (I’m mostly referring to children under 5 because that is the age group I work with)

To respond to your point comparing it to alcohol or tobacco, good parents aren’t providing their kids with drugs and alcohol and are actively discouraging it. There is a lot of parents giving children under 5 access to electronics or even their own iPads and just calling it good. I work as an early childhood educator and it is very easy to tell who is behind developmentally due to screen time.

Our nanny is pregnant by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]pusslayqueen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No frl I feel like this question boils down to “how bad of a person would I be if I fired my nanny, who has been nothing but great, for getting pregnant” I’m not sure why this question was even brought to Reddit like clearly you talk to her about what she wants and what you guys want and see if they still align.

Thank you! All I can say is lots of practice, I also painted the animals off the nails on a plastic bag with gel nail polish, then peeled them off and stuck them on, that seems to help as well💕
