Have you ever regretted a job you took?

I'm an experienced nanny but I never felt this before. I started with a family 6 weeks ago. We had a great interview and we proceeded to click very well for the first 3 weeks. I was very happy and felt like I could see myself very long-term with them. It felt like such a great fit. While I still am happy overall, I don't have that feeling anymore. I have this thought of wondering about being with a different family and I have found myself browsing nanny positions a few times. This is very out of my character. In former positions the thought of leaving them for another family never crossed my mind and I would get a sick stomach at the thought of really leaving them - like a guilty feeling.

This family is wonderful. I enjoy spending my dad with my charge and I really love both my bosses. When I am at work I am happy to be there but outside of it, I find myself thinking about positions. There has not been any real concerns other than MB nitpicking certain things. I do feel a little guilty because they are great people but that doesn't stop me fr looking around. I'm not sure I would apply to any of them but I still entertain that thought. Any clues to why this is happening?

Do you feel burnt out?

Not at all. I love being a nanny. I just now envision it with another family and not them. I think the biggest issue could be that the MB sometimes makes comments about how expensive everything is. It worries me that they can't afford me. I am very happy being a nanny and I know I don't want to leave.

Is this the same person generating all the " I can't get to work because?" You must be bored with all the time you are spending on this board.
If you are not the same person " though I think you are" then my apologies
If you are the same person I think you need to get a life, and do your employers a favor and find another kind of employment

Sorry, not me. I have better things to do then make up dumb posts on there. This so the second post I have written in two years. I have never missed a day or let alone been late.
