She is so arrogant. We talked for less than 5 minutes but she said she really needed me to work on 11/27. She was only asking to work 6 hours that day and she would try and come back early if possible. I again told her that I would not be there and she needed to find someone else. As she left she said "I will expect to see you at work on the 27th".

Today is my last day. I cannot stand her. I have put up with her being late and what not but this is the final straw. I am telling her today is my last day. This is what I actually wanted. I am so relieved. I am going to miss the kids but it's time to go. Did I mention her H is on a business trip and won't be back till Friday afternoon? I also do not need a reference from her. Being a nanny is not my chosen field and I am done with it. I have other references to use. Good luck MB!

That's not arrogant. That is expecting you to show up for the job she hired you for. Any professional job/company would not just agree to every day and you need to act like a professional.

You are dead wrong, PP. The employer gave this employee this time off on her own accord and then rescinded it a week before the date promised. I am an employer, not a nanny, and owner of a small company - and would never do this to any of my employees including our nanny. It would not be professional for me to do such a thing. You have to respect your employees lives outside the work place.


And so don’t know what you mean by “Any professional job/company would not agree to every day”. Who is asking for every day?

How’d it go, OP?

OP! What happened?

Hi,
It was nothing too dramatic. She was 20 minutes late getting home. Not unusual. I cut to the chase and told her I did not appreciate her rescinding my day off after it was approved. She said if it was not right before a holiday she would not have done it but she needed me. I told her she might get away with that behavior with other people but not me. I said she needed me but I did not need a job working for her. I said it was my last day and I would not be back. I hugged the kids goodbye and left. She was truly shocked. I don't know if it's actually dawned on her that she no longer had a nanny. She was speechless and did not know what to say when I left. I was talking with my mom about it and she does not think I've heard the last from her.

I think you should keep working and get your money until 11/26 and then quit. F this lady.

Good for you, OP. More nannies need to learn to be assertive and stop letting themselves being used and abused by their MB. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Yes! I am proud of you! She was 100% in the wrong here and clearly has no regard for you as an employee.

And I agree that more nannies need to stand up to selfish, thoughtless employers. In the past, I know I put up with way too much because I loved my charge.

Good luck, OP. And please keep us posted if she contacts you.

I hope you still get paid on time for hours worked and you don’t end up having to go through the time and hassle of bringing her to court for your pay.

MB here - good for you. I would never do this to my nanny, I respect her and value her time - your former boss didn't see you the same way.

Any professional company would not approve a request and then rescind it and expect employee to show up anyway unless it was a true emergency. Deciding MB was too busy after all with her own errands is not an emergency, it's just disrespectful.

Mom was right. She ruined my Sunday evening and Monday and I was on edge and did not get a lot of sleep. I went out with friends last night so I crashed when I got home. She woke me up from a cold sleep and I was a tad cranky.

She called me and asked if we could come to some sort of compromise. I told her there was nothing to discuss I was done and she pushed me to far with her bs. Yes I told her that. I let her know how selfish and self absorbed she is and to expect this again in the future if she did not shape up. I was so obnoxious and was talking down to her like she talked to me on Monday. She was saying it would cost a small fortune to get a temp service and she has no more sick time to use. I told her it was not my problem and she had no one to blame but herself. I also let her know she better not mess with my final pay check and I expected it on Friday in my account as usual and I hung up.

I don't even know what to do with myself. It has been so long since I have had this free time. I can go to the gym, cafe, take a nap in the middle of the day. I am always go, go, go. I can always study of course. I am really enjoying this!!

I bet her husband's pissed at the money she's going to have to spend on an agency. and not only does she not have anybody on Thursday but she's got to spend time she doesn't have finding someone else SMH. P this is what happens when you forget your Nanny is a person
