Whether the OP is the blog owner or not, I think the point of this entire thread should be that not all nannies feel a sense of entitlement, but MANY that post on this forum seem to. I think it's common to see here because many of us come here to vent or get advice from others who know exactly where we are coming from. However there are a handful of nannies that post here complaining about things that they have no right to complain about. Employers left the kitchen a mess for you? The time you spent complaining about it on here could have been spent confronting them or cleaning it up. MB comes home 5 minutes late a few times? Suck it up--it's 5 minutes.
I just don't see why so many nannies have SUCH a huge problem doing extras that really do not even effect their day. If the dishwasher needs to be emptied or filled, I'll do it because it takes about 3 minutes out of my morning. If I'm throwing a load of my charge's laundry in the washing machine and there's MBs laundry still in there..I switch it over to the dryer and finish it for her. Grocery shopping needs to be done? Sure, my charge loves going to the grocery store and I'm happy to help. I think some nannies forget that we ARE hired to make our MB and DB's lives easier, as much as you think otherwise. My job is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate environment for my charge and I do a great job of that. I have such a great relationship with my employers because it is an equally fair work atmosphere--I do extra around the house to help them, and they are good to me in return. I don't EXPECT a giant bonus or extra pay for working an hour past my usual time one day. I don't need to be rewarded for helping make sure the household runs smoothly. I have a JOB. I don't feel entitled to shit because they pay me, and I am grateful to be employed. If you are SO DAMN UNHAPPY, QUIT!! Quit your job! And if you say you need the money and can't quit, then stop complaining. No one is forcing you into a job you hate, so it really is what you make of it. Do I have bad days? Sure... but again, it's what you make of it. I think the entitled/ungrateful nannies here WANT to be unhappy.
No one feels sorry for you. Stop being lazy or find a job where it is acceptable to sit on your ass all day.
End rant.
