How is going on Dr visit for hours her job? That is health issues it is parents job not the nanny and she said the dad is not helping so sounds like the mom is putting dad responsibility on the nanny
OP sounds like there's definitely a breach in contract there. Helping is one thing but to go above and beyond is another and it sounds more like a house manager position than it does a nanny position. We have a very strict contract that's very clear so no one feels confused or feel like their boundaries are being crossed. Our children's health is our responsibility and we are the only ones that are present for appointments pertaining to their health unless something happened when we're away at work only then does the nanny have permission to of course drive them to the hospital or accompany emergency services until we get there. Sitting for hours in a hospital is NOT your responsibility and you should decline especially if it's not in your contract. You also should stop over extending yourself because now it's no longer you "helping out' but more so you're now expected to do those things and I'm quite sure at the same rate you're being paid to nanny their baby. Contracts are in place for this very reason. I hope this helps!

I disagree! You sound like one of the parents that has no problem taking advantage of your nanny. PWhy isn’t her husband a part of this? This is why Nannies become resentful toward their employers because sitting for two hours in a medical facility isn’t a Nanny’s job. A nanny is hired to care for your child if said child or children has to undergo any medical procedure, it’s the parent’s job to be available for said procedure even if it’s for allergy testing. You are basically filling in like her husband and from what I’m understanding you didn’t sign up for any of it. Her husband needs to be present for that procedure not you. That’s it!
If the appointment falls within your work hours then you should be going with her to the appointment.
So the family I work for their baby has allergies a lot of Dr appointments. His most recent one is coming up and the mom asked me to come with her to his allergist so I can sit with them for 3 hours while she works because her husband has to work. I politely declined. I did so because the responsibilities are getting more ridiculous. I started as a nanny now I cook, meal prep, do laundry, and new task Dr office visits (which I would'nt mind if it were a check up but not sit for 3 hours). I feel overwhelmed. I first wanted to offer help her out where I see can use a hand because her husband refuses to help but wow that just went from helping to it being mandatory. I guess I am just looking for some advice.
I just asked my husband (detective) he said everything shows up in a background check. Your best bet would be to get it expunged off your record especially since you weren't charged.
Yes you are dumb. That was the very last day I would’ve worked for that family
“”This is your birthday present……?””
How about “”Here are my walking papers!””
How about “”Here are my walking papers!””

I am a Nanny and would only take your job if the Tesla you provided me with was the Cybertruck one.
No exceptions.
And only $50 an hour??
Nah I would need to make at least $52 an hour to make driving that enormous cybertruck w/your kids inside worth it.

I do not think prior arrests show up on most background checks because in a nutshell an arrest is simply an officer’s opinion that someone committed an offense.
What one officer may arrest someone for - another one may just issue a citation - and another may not do anything at all.
What constitutes criminal convictions on checks are typically any felony convictions - sometimes misdemeanors but no arrests.
If someone were in the military and had to undergo a background check for security clearance then yes an arrest, even one decades ago may show up but not the standard one for childcare.

If you were arrested but let go without being charged with anything then it’s not gonna show on your record.

This is actually a very genius solution.
Trouble is that it might not be the same background check software as a potential employer’s.
True, so she should do the most in-depth one possible. If it doesn't show up there, she has nothing to worry about.
