I'm guessing youre hearing the 1-sided story.
Are you sure " left in the middle of the night" wasn't an embellishment? Maybe the Nanny left after she put the kids to bed/her shift was over, had a huge argument with the parents which she felt was the last straw, packed up her items, and by then it was 10/1030/maybe even 11pm...not as dramatic as the title of your post makes it seem.
Who would sign such a contract!
I could see some lawyer parents trying to get a nanny to sign a predatory contract. These parents were paying her well, nice room, van but I think they just dumped too much on her. They work a lot, go to gym daily, so it was long days for the nanny. The kids are a handful.
no they didn’t. They had a village. Today there is no more village unless you’re extremely lucky.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:if that’s all it was she would have told them that and given notice.

That’s more than enough. They clearly overworked her. With 3 or more kids and a expectation to be ‘on’ 8 or more hours a day the family should have 2 nannies on rotation.
LOL!! Most women raised 3 or more kids all by themselves just one generation ago. Two or more nannies? LOL
And they weren't entertaining them all day. They left the kids in their cribs or playpens, or older ones just roamed the neighborhood until dark. That's not today's reality, especially for a nanny who is being paid to entertain the kids, shuttle them here and there, do laundry/cleaning, meals etc.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:if that’s all it was she would have told them that and given notice.

Why assume that?? Perhaps she was a crappy nanny/person. I would assume that successful people with big jobs are not a nightmare.
Someone who lives with families and works for $25/hour is more likely to be bad at decision making etc.

Meh. Some people are immature and don't handle transitions or conflict well or get a better offer in this hot job market and then leave without any notice. It's not specific to nannies, but people do just ghost jobs these days. OP sounds like she wants to gossip about her "friend."
