[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.

I agree there are really nasty comments on this board but you shouldn't only pay attention to the negative comments.

The nanny/family relationship can be just wonderful when everything is determined from the beginning. Each side has to be honest about what they want/need.
Yes, money is important, it is a job and we need to be compensated correctly :)

The only times I have been resentful towards my employers were when I was not respected. For example when they were constantly late and didn't even ask if that was ok or simply apologized. Most times I do not mind that they're late, I understand they have demanding jobs but just being nice and saying "sorry Nanny but I don't think I'll be able to make it home on time, is it ok with you?" and paying extra for that over time of course.
Some other examples were : adding tasks to my job that are not related to the kids like ironing the father's shirts without asking me if it's ok and not even offering extra money for it.

Some things are not my job but I will happily do them if I feel like it.
