Shady moms

[Anonymous]

My employer posted an ad saying she
is looking for a family to join our group
to do a nanny share. She also said she
had a great nanny who would be caring
for the two families kids.

My boss told me two different moms
emailed her back. Both of them are
desperate for a family to join their
share. Basically they told my boss
to give me the axe and take their
nanny!

My boss was so miffed, she replied
back with them asking had they misunderstood
her post? She stuck up for me telling
them how she would never part with
me under those circumstances!

I was reading on the net and Again
I saw a mother doing the same thing!

Good for your employer for sticking up for you. I find it incredibly annoying when people don't fully read the ads you put out. I find this happens a lot on Care.com. I very clearly state my availability on my profile, but I constantly have people messaging me asking me if I am available full time.

I also went on an interview for a long term position and got the job because I was the only person to apply that didn't think the job was only for the summer! LOL

OP, any chance your MB did this on the Silver SPring moms listserv? If so, I think I saw this...

You are right I notice people don't pay attention on here the majority of the time. If a parent says email them at their address, you see everybody posting in the forum. I did laugh when
a job had been taken off the board and people continued to ask for a job. Someone called this person " Desperate".

Yes, now I have had this happen 3 times. What in the world is gong on? Moms are really trying to play dirty, by any means necessary.

Boss just forwarded me another mom telling her she needed another family to join her group. If she wanted to get rid of me and use their nanny.
Amazing

What do you mean by "shady moms" and "play dirty"?

That isn't what is happening with you, OP. Your MB is getting offers to join existing shares. Those existing shares already have nannies that apparently are valued by their MBs.

I get that you think you are better than those other nannies, but I can't imagine why you would think MBs other than your own, would think so.

It sounds kind of obnoxious of you to expect other families to fire nannies they think are great for you, someone they don't know.

Your MB just needs to find a family who wants a share but doesn't have an existing share with an already employed nanny. If she isn't getting these responses, her ad must not be worded well. I'm sure she will find one eventually. In the meantime, dial back your strange anger at something that is not worth getting angry about and work harder to be the best nanny with the best attitude so you can help potential share nannies see how wonderful you are!

You have this backwards. It is other families expect OPs MB to fire her nanny(OP) that she thinks is great, for their nanny. And you're right it is obnoxious, hence OPs post.

Nope. I have it right. We are saying the same thing. Of course, OP is not very articulate so it is difficult to really understand her issue.

Yes, MB is advertising for a family to join her share. The families responding are inviting OP's MB to join their shares instead. These other families already have nannies they want to keep. Because these other families are as good to their nannies as OP's MB is to her. They want OP's MB to join their share with their awesome nanny. What's wrong with that? These families don't know OP. They know their nannies, who they value highly.

Where you and I disagree is that OP doesn't think it's "great". She doesn't care about the other nannies at all. Why should she? What is obnoxious is that OP thinks the other families are "shady" and "dirty" for wanting to keep their nannies when that is exactly what she wants from her NF.

OP is wrong. There is nothing wrong with families who want to keep their awesome nanny. There is nothing wrong with OP's MB wanting to keep her. There is nothing obnoxious about the situation. OP is posting devil faces over nothing. She acts like she is being treated unfairly or being wronged. She isn't. She's a drama queen.

Why in the world is your MB forwarding all of the emails to you? That's bizarre.

You probably are one of the moms that are doing this. If "said "family" needed another family to join them why the heck can't they post their own post? The ad is plain as day stating a great nanny is already established, why should I be fired knowing that I am a great nanny that will not be traded like a baseball card.

Because she wants to, I have special bonds with all of my families.

You are the one sounding like the drama queen, with all of your silly childish name calling. If it is making my boss miffed, then of course I will be upset too. You would be miffed as well for someone to try to get you fired for no reason. If I wasn't one of the best my boss wouldn't have stuck up for me four times. Here's a smiley face for you!
