[quote=Anonymous]Yes I had that feeling.  I checked MB's history on the computer and snooped in her email (yeah yeah yeah I know I'm horrible, no need to flame me) and saw that she was looking for my replacement.  Then the kids told me about MB looking on a webpages at 'pictures of nannies' (I'm guessing sittercity or care).  Plus one of the kids told me that a nanny came on the weekend 'to play' for the whole day.  I"m guessing this was the trial period?  I know from reading the emails that MB wanted to hire this nanny.  So basically I worked my ass off hoping to at least leave with a reference.  Not sure what happened, but MB never hired the other nanny and I saved my job.  Maybe the other nanny didn't want the job, who knows.  But all that is to say, I worked so hard just to get a good reference and eventually talked to MB (who told me that she wasn't looking for another nanny - lies!!!).  I aksed her what I could do to improve and asked her for a list and went to work fixing the issues.  I worked hard every day so that even if I was let go, I could use them as a reference as I am a long term nanny with that family.  It's now a few years later and things are good.  I saved my job and I've been really happy.  It's a very high paying job and I love the kids.  MB was trying to see if she could get a nanny/housekeeper for the same price as me.  I guess she realized the grass wasn't greener![/quote]
