[quote=Anonymous]I completely understand your feelings regarding your previous charges OP.
But things kinda ended pretty badly.

Unfortunately, there are some families who view a sick nanny as the kiss of death. They don't understand that us nannies get sick, probably even more so since we are exposed to many germs daily. They get so angry and frustrated if we fall ill and cannot go to work for a few days and then they have to miss work, etc.
It is the family's sole responsibility to arrange back~up childcare in the event of a sick nanny or some other emergency. Yet, many families take the view that a sick nanny is a huge liability and have little forgiveness for illnesses.

OP, I wanted to ask you...Have you called in sick a lot these past 8 mos. or so? If so, I can understand her reaction.

However if this was your first time, then she is being completely unreasonable. For her to contact her other nanny on a whim and offer her her job back, then tell you she was only seeking a "back~up" option is completely untrue. She is just two~faced and believe me, consider it a blessing that you no longer are employed by this selfish and inconsiderate person.

The reason you saw her ad on Care.com is because since you left, she is probably having a tough time keeping a nanny due to the way she treats them.

I strongly discourage you from having anything to do w/this family.
I know you miss those kids, but you are going to have to suck it up and move on.

Life goes on. Everything evolves and it would be best if everyone in this situation moved on.
It seems they have and now you should.

You seem like a wonderful and caring nanny and I am glad you like your current job.

Just move on and do not look back.[/quote]
