Smart of you not to post on the list serve. It sucks, but it will only look bad and could potentially make it hard for you to find another nanny. Good nannies don't want drama. |
Yes, this is why we pay a week behind. This is pretty normal in the working world. |
This is just silly. Very few nannies are on MOTH. Any new nanny you get through MOTH is going to ask who your old nanny was and probably contact them anyway. Just FYI. |
Not certain of where you live. However, in the DMV area, you can definitely be sued for providing such "factual" information. |
I got ghosted by a nanny family that I did genuinely end on good terms with and I’m not sure how to prevent this from happening in the future again. They couldn’t afford to pay me anymore… I messaged a couple times and they never replied. Curious.
Thank you! Hannah |
I second/third this. I would want to know as well. . Don't provide the full name, you can give the initials or the first name and last name initial, plus a sentence or two describing the person and what happened. I would probably say something like this 'Anyone hired a new nanny this week with initials ___? She's about 5'5" with brown hair. Just wanted to give a warning that this was our nanny the last year and she ghosted us recently despite being paid in advance. Feel free to reach out to me privately if you would like additional details.' |

You're cheap and no wonder she quit! You are going to sue her for one week's salary,! You're lucky she stayed for the year. She her because this will prove to her that she was right to quit. Alternatively, she may really have a medical emergency with her child. |
$24/hr for a share? No wonder she is ghosting you. |
Umm this post is from 2017. Maybe the share rate was the norm then for wherever OP lives. She’s not necessarily in DC. |
