New job offer

[Anonymous]

I just have a new job offer.
I have to take care of 15 month old girl.
The mom wants me to stay with her all day at home.
It’s cold so she don’t want we walk to park and she is not agree if I take her to indoor activities
She don’t want I drive her around.
I feel it’s going to be very boring.
What’s your thoughts ( btw my schedule will be 9 to 5)
Thanks in advance

So the parents want you to stay in the house with her until March of next year? How big is the house? Do they have a playroom and large yard?

At home every single day while it's cold? Yeah, it seems like it's going to be challenging to be stuck indoors all day every day. Our nanny doesn't drive, but as long as it's not absolutely freezing or pouring, she is at the park or the playground with the kids for at least an hour every single day, usually more like two hours.

It’s not good for the child.

That said, I worked weekends for a very high profile family on weekends and we were not allowed to leave the grounds for security reasons. However, this family had a huge yard, swings, art room, playroom, basketball court where the child could chalk and play cars, and a pool. It was fun setting up projects for us to do together. I wasn’t bored at all. But as I said, this was just two days a week. I don’t know if I could have done it full time.

Personally, I would pass on this job.

RUN as fast as you can from this job!

MB here. Hmm. I have a nine month old and the nanny we hired, who is fabulous, volunteered to take her to library story time and to do some grocery shopping for us. I said I would prefer she keeps the baby home. One of the primary reasons we decided to hire a nanny instead of using day care is to try and keep our baby away from germs during the winter months. We're okay with going for walks to the park (and she's been doing that, but I doubt for much longer as we have very brutal winters where we are), but not with the nanny driving our baby anywhere. Just because I feel like our baby is safest at home, and I trust that our nanny will find ways to have fun with her there.

I don't feel your job offer is unreasonable.

Op here , I work as nanny almost ten years and this is first family ( with that kind of views ) that I met in last ten years
First I feel the family don’t trust me so that’s why they are not allowing me to drive the kid around.
Yes it’s UNREASONABLE. Since it’s winter time and it’s hard to stay with toddler all day at home .
Mom works from home I am totally fine with that. I was with another family for four years ( the both parents worked from home) but I never ever met or work with family with that kind of UNREASONABLE views.

11:25 here. I hear you. But you asked for thoughts so I gave mine to you. Sounds like you only want thoughts that agree with yours hence your SHOUTING. Maybe they need more time to trust you before they allow you to drive their child around. Our nanny has been with us for 6 weeks now. We think she's great. We still said no to driving our kids. It's true; we don't trust her to do that right now and it isn't necessary. Over time, we may. Our priority is our child's safety and health, not the entertainment of our nanny. We don't worry a lot about whether she is bored. We do care about her happiness, and that's why we treat and pay her well. But yeah, sounds like this is a job offer you should decline since you feel so strongly about not staying at home with your charge.

Becoming more common. There are plenty of things you can do to occupy the time she is not napping or eating. Read stories, playdough, sensory bins, water play, blocks, listen to music, dance, finger plays and action songs, practising how to dress and undress, bake together, coloring, painting, bring snow in from outside to explore or explore item frozen in ice cubes, make forts, make obstacle courses....be creative.

You are unreasonable and delusional, hence why you side with the OP family. Unless you work in the house and never interact with the public guess what, you are bringing home germs and introducing them to your baby.

Unless you are paying her $25/hr I doubt it’s well. Probably standard or average. Also, if she keeps asking about going out she isn’t happy and will soon be on her merry way.
