+ 1  It is natural to subconsciously mourn your former charges and old job.  Stick it out for a year.  [/quote]

[u]Horrible[/u] advice here. Just awful.

If a job is a bad fit, a whole entire year can be an eternity, trust me.

It isn't worth it to wake up each and every day, dreading going in to your job. It also isn't fair to the children who get attached to you eventually as well.  :cry:

It's best to leave NOW before too many raw feelings have been invested into this. That way, there will be less hurt feelings in the end.

That is why in nanny jobs, it is [i]always[/i] a wise idea to have a trial period first prior to committing to a position. Unlike other jobs, this type of work requires almost perfect chemistry between nanny and parent and if that chemistry does not exist, then there is no foundation at all for the whole job as a whole to succeed.

PP:

I cannot believe you were fired for being a "clumsy" nanny.

I remember being yelled at because I was playing "Hide-and-go-Seek" with my charge, and while he was chasing me, he tripped and fell down. I was told that I was being irresponsible since he was running in [b]back[/b] of me vs. in [b]front[/b] of me. So...I guess I had to always be "it." Like....How the heck am I supposed to know this? It sure as heck wasn't in our contract.

Needless to say, I got my check and never came back. Crazy.  :roll: [/quote]
