[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is traveling and won’t be home until Friday. I also just started a new job in January and my main project (since I started) is due on Monday. This is suck bad timing for me[/quote]

So you find a backup nanny on Nextdoor or through White House Nannies or pull a favor from a friend or you let the nanny bring her mom. Life happens and the nanny is not your personal slave. [/quote]

This is so offensive. Nanny is part of the family. We helped her and her family in so many ways. We brought her whole family (husband and kids) to the uS. Gave them all a place to live, helped with college applications, fees, etc. You have no clue[/quote]

Oooooh, so you have a slave nanny.[/quote]

Stop responding to the “slave” troll. She says this all the time and the rest of us ignore her. [/quote]

This was the first time I've ever said it, and if you read what OP did -- brought her nanny with her from overseas, then brought her husband and children, has them live with her, etc., and if you know people who are expats that have done this, or if you know people who have had nannies overseas and seen how they are treated, then you would know why I posted it. But if you don't, then carry on, [/quote]

Different poster here. I accused OP of this very thing, because I have a neighbor who has done this and it’s disgusting.

OP wants to paint herself as some savior, as if she cannot get a US nanny and has to import one, away from her own country and family. Bring this woman from another country, away from her own kids, to raise OP’s kids. This woman has no set boundaries BECAUSE SHE LIVES IN OP’s BASEMENT.

yep; my neighbor from Central America did this.  She’s an ex-pat working for a big south/Central American NGO.  Her own mother sent her this woman from their own country to be her live in maid and nanny.  Woman has been here 20 years still doesn’t speak English.  Has no friends. Never leaves the house. Never has a day off.

You are taking major advantage of this person OP. Shame on you. Hope there is mercy on your soul but you won’t get it from me. [/quote]

So many stupid, angry and ignorant people... how am I taking a major advantage of this person? Pls explain.

Nobody forced her here! I knew her from before I moved here and she later disclosed that she was hoping I would get married and stay in the US so she could come here! Do you think you can force people to be your nanny? I have never heard of such thing. Do you think I forbid her to leave? Do you think she works 7 days a week? Do you think she has no vacation? Do you think she was working while giving birth and for 2 months after? Do you think her kids are also my little slaves and they did not go to school and are not extremely happy in college where I helped them get? Do you think my nanny would have had another baby had she been so unhappy? Do you think I took her away from her family? Don’t you think I should have insisted for her family to stay away so that I would not have to take months off from work to take care of my kids when the nanny had a baby? Do you think she does not go on vacation because she is able to save money to spend? Do you think she is not investing in properties in her home countries so if she wishes she can retire there?

Really... 
I love having her living here with me. It makes things easier for everyone... my kids have another family and nanny saves about $2000 in rent. She is not a slave. She works 8 hours a day 5 days a week. She hasn’t worked an evening since Covid hit (and she would have been paid extra if she did). She does NOT want to go back anywhere and when we will need to let her go because we will not need her for ever, she will probably try to find a way to stay here.

I am sorry you are surrounded by horrible people, but it is not what happens everywhere else. While we are the only family that sponsored visas for the whole family, everyone else I know treats their employees really well. We wanted her because first of all we knew her and could trust her, second, she speaks my language and I wanted that for my kids. Otherwise, a local nanny would have been a great deal easier (and we could have rented the basement for possible $1800)

You are an ugly and judgmental person[/quote]

I would like to know how you sponsored a visa for a nanny and her entire family? Because I have family that works in immigration law and that is basically impossible - what special talents does your nanny have that you were able to bring her over here?[/quote]
