Lol don’t be lazy, you’ll be fine. I have a baby and a 3 yr old we do okay. You’ll find you’re going to want to switch to a convertible car seat sooner than later anyways.

Seriously? Babies put anything and everything in their mouths. It could have come from anywhere.

Most people I sit for tell me to help myself to anything in the kitchen. If pizza is ordered I just eat with the kids. I most often bring my own snacks because I like what I like. Sometimes parents leave money for me to order, sometimes they bring hot dinner home before they leave.

For my own kids I try to drop my kids with the sitter because it makes it easier for them. If they come to my house it depends if I have enough groceries in the house for them to help themselves - or I'd just leave cash/pizza. It's important to take care or the people taking care of YOUR people. It makes them feel safe and like you value them.

Just do whats comfortable for you and fair.

I sitting down with nanny discussing this, making sure she understands what differences need to be made to move forward and getting her 'side' is important as well. But I do think it's slightly odd and late for you to be addressing this after 7 months...especially with your daughter telling you these types of things. I'm curious what sense you're getting from your daughter? Mine is only 3 but I can always tell when she's being genuine or lying to me. The fact that she's saying the same thing over a long amount of time is something to be taken into account.

She can't do anything and I doubt she'd want to if you're giving her notice and a good rec. It's annoying, I'd be slightly miffed and she probably will take it a bit personally, but you have to do what you have to do. If she up and won the lottery or decided to move across the country for whatever reason she'd be giving you notice ans moving on with her life as well. stuff happens. treat her fairly and don't sweat it.

OP here. I’m more of a sausage girl, which I definitely enjoyed for dessert last night!

I guess I must be old fashioned because I consider enjoying sausage for dessert to be sex.

Wasn't OP suggesting that?

no. she said they didn't have sex but fooled around.

OP could have had oral sex and enjoyed sausage that way. She doesn’t need to have sex in order to enjoy “ sausage”.

Isn’t oral sex....sex? When the sausage goes into any female orifice isn’t that sex? I thought that the Clinton/Lewinsky episode pretty much determined that most people, including Hillary, consider it to be sex.

Not sex unless vagina/penis penetration. Considering male/female

I'm a nanny. I charge $100 8pm-6am fee. After that I charge my normal hourly rate. Nanny is on call and responsible for anything during these hours

It depends on the age of the child.

Also I would speak to the child’s parents concerning what you have seen.
This lousy Nanny should be let go.
Stat.

For any child three + under, a Nanny is still the optimal choice for childcare.
There are a majority of loving, competent Nannies who actually enjoy what they do.
I am one of them.

I would take out your AA requirement....I'm a nanny with a wonderful resume who would jump at this opportunity, but I wouldn't even come onto your roster with the AA requirement.

As a nanny, she needs to realize a different job means different timestamps, traditions etc. You agree when you sign the contract. Let her take the days unpaid if she really wants them, and let her know in the future xmas break will not be a 2 week vaca and you need her to be available when you go back to work.

Lol, wow. First of all I would never agree to have extra children thrown at me for no charge, especially children that fight/misbehave and would be an extra burden. Depending on my relationship with my employer, I would probably just ask you 3 to talk and work out whether or not playdates can be arranged (where all parents know the deal) and tell my employer that I don't mind playdates for an hour but after the hour i'd like to be compensated.

Nanny here - your nanny probably used the money for gifts/bills and is too shy to admit she really needed it/ask for an advance.
