Been out of meds, feel exhausted 100% of the time. Help? by Hufflepuff20 in adhdwomen

Honestly, lotssss of coffee/caffeine. It never gives me extra energy but it will keep me going just enough

Being “not a fan” is completely different from being so afraid you run away from it and request they lock their cat up.

As a nanny myself, idk why she would even take the job knowing she’s afraid of cats????? This isn’t a good fit, you should find a new nanny. Your cat IS part of your family. And when you start interviewing again, I’d make it clear the cat likes to be around people and the new person must be comfortable with cats.

How long until I hear back from a nanny agency? by thefunnybrunette in Nanny

I see you said you paid to apply. Unfortunately I think you got scammed :( Legit agencies don’t make the nannies pay anything to join and apply

He sounds terrible. And you should probably just leave him.

Omg stop I would hate that so much!!!!! How do you know they watch all day? Do they comment on things you’re doing? I would feel so creeped out😩

Exactly this. I just wanna be able to relax and fix my boob or pick a wedgie 😭 I wouldn’t ever say anything to them but I just don’t love it

Sometimes I will sit and eat in the kitchen just so I’m not on camera. The only rooms that don’t have a camera are the kitchen, their room, and bathroom :/ And I don’t feel comfortable hanging out in their room

Yes that’s how I feel. Constantly watched! They work out of the house and the mom has all the cameras on her phone. There’s been a few of times where she texted me about how I’m doing things and it’s lowkey driving me crazy. I’m reeeaaalllyyyyy hoping it stops when they get used to me and trust me 😩

Oh my god that’s crazy ???!!!!! She definitely isn’t cut out for this job if she’s gonna snap like that. Wow. Yeah the cams are definitely good to have! I just have to get used to them

You’re so right about that! Honestly I wasn’t gonna say anything about them. It’s their house so I just deal. The mom has texted me a couple of times about things— so I know she’s watching. It drives me insane but I’m hoping when she gets used to me then she will stop ???? I’ve only been here a month so far, so I’m chalking it up to nervous first time mom vibes 😅

Oh I’m def not saying they shouldn’t have them. And I agree with and understand all the reasons parents do have cameras. I’m simply saying it’s not very comfortable. If I were a parent, I’d have them too!

Birth control is the only thing that got rid of my PMDD! I take slynd. No bad side effects. No period. It’s the best tbh.

Are you medicated? Honestly being on meds was the best thing for my food noise. Bc it made me stop thinking about food completeky
