[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team nanny here.  Having the nanny help with the moving was the icing on the cake for me.  Having her do that, whether you paid her or not, shows that you didn't respect her.  Never in a million years would I ask a child care provider to do that.  [/quote]

Sadly this is the millennial attitude all around. “Not my job” whenever they are asked to do the slightest thing different or extra and the first question is always “will you pay me extra?” You will not meet anyone who did well at a job who did not occasionally do something beyond that job, and in this case it sounds like it was not that much to do.[/quote]

millennial here, I will do extra and work my butt off if there is a reason to. At a job that I care about, I'll happily put in long hours and will never say no to extra work. What promotion is a nanny working towards? For a college grad, it isn't a real job at least not in the sense that there is any future in it. [/quote]
Ha! Life has a way of bringing pompous people like you down. There is a reason to do a good job anywhere, you took the jshouldob, no? You are working at that job, not towards some future job. A reference letter for a young student, even from a mom that she babysat for, is worth a lot when you fresh out of school and have no other experience! Do you think that jobs that offer huge salaries and promotions appear for lazy out fo school young people? I can see that you do think that.
The job you should care for is any job that pays the bills and puts food on your table and a roof over your head! You sound like a clueless trust fund baby or a kept woman![/quote]

yes, the mom is absolutely going to open doors for her nanny. More likely, that nanny was working after hours doing all that they could to get a job. Plenty of people have to find something to pay the bills while they scramble to find a real job. Eventually people do find the real job and that enables them to quit the crappy retail/food service/gig economy or in this case nanny job and never look back on it. This nanny isn't unique, plenty of places put off or scaled back hiring during the pandemic and those opportunities are starting to come back [/quote]

You sound really foolish. As an employer I would wonder what this college grad did with a year of her life that she isn’t willing to provide a reference for. Much better to have a letter from a working professional who can comment on her responsibility, accountability, people skills, teaching ability, than an empty space on her very short CV. Besides you never know who the mom know who could help her if she wanted to.[/quote]
