| I'm the baby who wrote " she fired me but now wants me to work next week". thread. So I told MB I had another gig lined up ( which I did) so she told me they would keep me in mind for date nights, next week, etc., and that if anything falls through to let them know pending that hadn't already found a nanny. Well this gig has fallen through ( they got a daycare spot) so I reached out to MB about next week and long-term. She said she needs help X days if I am available but would like to wait until in-person to discuss long-term. Now I'm nervous, and thinking she may be using me to work next week because she found a new nanny already. Why would she wait until in-person to talk about it? |

I would be hesitant to hire you, you seem very
indesisive. It seems like you are settling for them. |

| Probably because she doesn't want long term with you and wants to tell you in person. While she doesn't sound like the ideal employer, I can hardly blame her. You don't sound mature enough or qualified to be a nanny |

| Both of you sound difficult. Find another job and just help her out while you can. |

Wow. Thanks for the snarky comments. As my last post said, I was suppose to start with this family but I had to have an emergency surgery that rendered me from starting for my first week. I helped them out last week. The mom told me they rethought things and wanted to rehire me I told her given her letting me go, I took a job with my cousin until their daycare opened up but I could help out next week.
My cousin was able to get a spot, so I told her I'm now available long-term if the offer still stands. She said she would love for me to help out next week but prefers to discuss long-term tomorrow in-person. How is me having to have an emergency surgery make me " incapable of being a nanny?" Please go back to your moms basement. |

Because of all the run-around involved (on both ends!), she may just need to have a serious sit-down conversation w/you to discuss the logistics of the needs of everyone involved.
Things have been so off + on between you two. She seems kinda flaky to me personally. Meaning it seems she says one thing, then does another. You may want to just leave this one alone, however if you really need the money I can understand you sticking w/this for now. She told you she hasn't found a new nanny YET. Is she actively looking for one now or is she taking a "wait & see" approach w/you thinking things may possibly work out? |

I'm not sure but I have decided to pass on this one. Too many issues out of the gate. I get that I was unreliable and missed my first week but I had a surgery that was out of my control. I think too much has happened and I'd rather start new with someone else. She's already said she didn't " kind of didn't like me" so I just wrote her an email passing on the opportunity. |

Good decision. |

Yep. Very mature decision. Sometimes circumstances cause something to just get started on the wrong foot, and it's better to move on if you have other options. |

Are you the one who overheard your employer saying she didn't like you? Yeah I don't like you either. Flakey and unreliable.
Oh and the "I'm the baby" Freudian slip in your OP fits just right because you sound way too immature to be a nanny. Ho work at the mall or an ice cream shop. Seriously. |

| Stop overanalyzing. She wants you to work a few days. Go, and then she what she has to say. and if you decide you want to work for her, act excited about it, and tell her you need a day to think about it. Don't play games with her, even if she is playing games with you. |
