[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't have to worry about coming home with dirty clothes every day. If I can't work a shift, I have co-workers to cover me (without bosses freaking out because there's no back up option), I never have to worry if MB/DB will be late at the end of the day (and if I do stay late at work, it's an OPTION and I'm paid for every extra minute I'm there). I actually have co-workers and interact with adults -- which has helped socially outside of work, too. I can go to the bathroom without worrying. I don't have to clean up anyone's mess, or dishes, or laundry, or dust. The list is endless. [/quote]

Yes BUT you can forget about getting to spend an afternoon at the park talking with nanny friends, running your own errands while being paid, and getting to surf the web or talk on our phone while being paid. If you stay out late the night before you can't take it easy and hang around the house, you'll be expected to be on your feet and performing at the same level. You can forget getting windfall paid weeks off from guaranteed pay. Your company/practice/hospital is going to close early on a Friday or shut down for a week and still pay you. If your workload declines, you will be laid off not kept on and forget about expecting yearly raises if they need you less. You will not get a bonus just for showing up, doing your job and expecting it so you feel appreciated. If you want Starbucks you'll need to get up earlier and get it before you start work or on your lunch hour unlike as a nanny while you you do it while you're on the clock. There will be no mall trips to window shop and pick a few things after your charge plays in the indoor play yard. You will not be given lunch or snacks let alone asked what you want your employer to buy for you. If you are late, it will be deducted from your paycheck. [/quote]
