[quote=Anonymous]No this is not normal OP.

I am a nanny myself and have done this on a few occasions.

I know it is unprofessional and unfair, but I have been in a few situations where I just had to get out immediately. In one case, my boss yelled at me in front of my charge and one of her friends in the home + I felt humiliated and belittled so much that I couldn't go back. Another boss accused me of possibly doing something neglectful to a baby just because the baby started crying when she left the room, so she assumed I had done something to her. Those types of things are totally unacceptable deal-breakers for me and I had to break it off immediately with those families.

Thankfully those types of families have been far and few between. The majority of my nanny families have been awesome to work for and have treated me w/the utmost respect and love. I have been w/my current family 1.5 yrs. and would never just walk out on them.

Can you think long and hard if perhaps there was anything that could have happened that may have caused your nanny to feel bad today? Try to put yourself in her shoes and look at things from her perspective. This may help you figure things out. If possible, perhaps you can talk things out w/her. If not, at least going forward looking for a new nanny, at least you will have a good idea what not to do next time.

Sorry OP. Good luck. [/quote]
