[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not say I'm a bitter nanny but I would say I lost my passion for working with kids a bit...Im a soft spoken person and at times have trouble speaking my mind. i had a rough start getting in the nanny field a dealt with a lot of drama when all I wanted to do is do what I love and get paided decently in return I got:

-I got dragged into two drama filled custody battle situations which no one informed me about which ended with two crazy dads at my doorstep threatening me.

-Screwed over out of hundreds of dollars because I didn't use contracts at first. One SAHM didn't tell her husband she got up getting a nanny and I ended up assed out with no job.

-A parent who told me her child didn't like me because my skin is too dark.

-Treated like a maid who deserves no Respect.

And the list goes on this is why I'm "bitter"

That's because you're to passive. Remember, no-one can take advantage of you if you don't let them. I've never been treated like a maid and that's because I put my foot down and unless I'm getting paid additional, I don't do 'housecleaning'. If I have free time (child napping) and feel energetic I will go out of my way and clean non child related things but I do NOT make a habit out of it and rarely get a chance.

The contract is your fault but at least you no now so next time you can make sure to have one.

The parent who told you their child doesn't like you because of your skin tone is horrible and I would have walked right then and there.

Taking your bitterness out over an anonymous board isn't going to make you feel better. Putting your foot down and refusing to get involved in family drama, housekeeping, etc, will make you feel better. In order to be professional you need a backbone. It's kinda like how guys don't respect girls who don't respect themselves. Nannying is the same thing. How can you expect someone to respect you if you can't even respect yourself.[/quote]

Very true in my current position I've taken major steps we have a contract and I speak my mind[/quote]
