Been with this family for years
The kids love me MB still owes me paycheck for last two weeks My mom from overseas was here, drove her to the airport late Sunday night Was going to call MB and dad boss in the morning to see what their decisions are for this week and next week (I only work in the afternoons till late evening) Before I got a chance to call them at 8am MB sent me a bunch of texts asking if I went to the airport with my mom I said yes (I’m not an animal you know, she’s my mom) Her only text I got: do not come to my house I said ok No asking of how things went, what happened at the airport, nothing I understand they’re concerned, but don’t you have the respect of calling your nanny and taking about this situation Couldn’t see just nicely say We don’t feel safe, please stay at home and we will pay/ not pay you Like what is wrong with people? Nastiness at its finest So two days later... I still didn’t get my paychecks from the last two weeks, I don’t know how long she doesn’t want me at the house I don’t know if I still have a job?!?!?! After all the work I did last week, preparing the house and food for her, getting gas in the cars, even MBs car I don’t drive |

| Have her leave the check under the mat and you will pick it up. if she does not pay you you take her to small claims court. Spread the word on the informal nanny network. |

| Just text her and calmly ask what’s going on with work first and then about your check. |

First, never ever share your personal life with your employers. Your boss should not have known your mother was visiting or that you took her to the airport.
Second, text her and remind her that you haven’t been paid and suggest her leaving your check in her mail box for you to pick up. Third, ask when she wants you to come back to work. |

| She isn't a friend nor required to have a friendly conversation. She is concerned. Text and email her asking for you check and find a new job. |

Not required to have a friendly conversation?!?!?! So how are all the bosses and their nannies handling this situation? I was ready for work and I was ready to discuss what’s going to happen She decided to send me a nasty text saying not to come to her house Is this how other nannies want to be treated? A text just saying...we decided for you to stay home and come pick up your check Would have been much nicer than telling me Don’t come to my house Don’t you think so?!?!?? |

They have young kids and are scared. You don't have kids. Your mom flew in and stayed with you/had close contact which puts you at greater risk for the virus. You probably also went out with your mom, which is their concern. There is clearly more to this story but if they were your kids would you want someone who recently traveled around your kids? |

The kids are over 11 years old and I understand their concern, hence I was gonna call them in the morning and talk about the whole situation
And duh, if people would inform themselves, the virus hasn’t infected kids yet and it’s ALL over the place Testing 1k people out of 330 million like really A parent in the kids school had the virus, they cleaned the schools and disinfected everything and the next day they left the kids back into the freshly clean disinfected school, and she’s worried about me driving my mom to the airport The kids had sport games in gym with hundreds other kids and parents watching, people coughing and sneezing all over the gym The kids have been in school this Thursday The kids have been playing with other kids, and had at least 6 kids over for play dates and neighbors who live around cake over to play The parents been going to their offices and shopping all week I should have mentioned that before So you still think it was nice of MB to tel me Don’t come to my house During a pandemic and when the president of the United States called it a national emergency? Is this how other nannies were treated? I’m reading about nannies and employers coming to agreements and talking through it I’m just really annoyed and want to see how other nannies have been treated

If kids are over 11, they really don't need you. Move on. |

You are incorrect. The virus has infected many, many children, and some of them have become critically ill. Some will have permanent organ damage. And children over the age of nine have died. Saying that "kids don't get this" is absolutely wrong. You have not been paying attention. Your MB is scared. She was rude, but this is a scary time. |

| There is a toddler in Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles in critical care with this virus. It’s wrong to say children don’t get it. |

It was very very rude of your MB text that.
I would have been really offended by her wording. She could have been a little more nice in her articulation. Re: Your paycheck...... Have her send it to you or drop it off at your home. At a time like this - how dare she not pay you.

Nanny here.
I would have been upset as well by how sharp her text was. Get your money and then try to find something else. Has she been nice and respectful for all these years? Just wondering ... Good luck and stay safe

I think you’re way way way overreacting to the wording. Tone is lost in text and email, surely you know that. Second, have her set up the cash app and send you your money. Third, did you drop off your mom or did you park and go inside the airport? If the former, probably not a big deal and you should have explained that to her. If the latter, then you’re not very smart and she’s right or ban you from the house. (And you’re not smart for telling her.)
Be a big girl and pick up the phone and talk to her. Good grief. |
