[quote=Anonymous]For the first two families with older children that I worked for I was their first nanny, and the kids were so excited to have me start because the alternative was after school care which they didn't enjoy.

I worked for one family where they had gone through so many nannies, and it was just how you are describing this current family. I didn't end up working with them for very long because I just couldn't handle the constant disrespect. I think there is a reason why your family has gone through so many nannies, and I think that kind of situation is hard on the kids. They see caregivers come and go. They don't care why Miss Lizzie the summer nanny went away. They liked her, and they don't understand that she was only on break from college, so now you are taking care of them, you know?

I don't know what advice to give you other than to maybe wait it out. Perhaps once they see that you're not going anywhere they will try to make an effort to have better attitudes with you. I was hit, kicked and screamed at by the older kids. They told me I was stupid, smelled bad, called me poopy (lol). I obviously knew they were just pulling random insults out of thin air, but I just couldn't tolerate it anymore.[/quote]
