[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m seeing a lot of threads about employers. You guys need to do better! Nannies are not your personal assistants, and therefore, shouldn’t be treated as such. Be organized! Arrive on time! If you can’t arrive on time, give proper notice and compensate for the extra time. Communicate with your nannies about their duties (in advance) and what you expect, their schedule (if fluctuates) etc. It’s 2018 now, let’s start the year off right! We see and hear enough about issues, on the employee and employers side, let’s make a change. Think about who it will really affect if your nanny isn’t happy or quits- the child(ren).

Oh, nannies you’re not off the hook either. Be on-time, dress appropriately and communicate with your employers if there are issues. Make notes, create your own time card etc.

I make no excuse for parents. Yes, you may have a lot going on (work, kids, significant other, the house) but nannies do as well. Even if they don’t have children. They have bills too ([b]rent[/b], insurance, car notes), they may be in school as well. Everyone be considerate of each other and the other persons time- we are all human and no one can say that they have more responsibilities or more on their plate because you don’t know that!

Happy New Year!  [/quote]

It kills me the way even another nanny assumes that a nanny isn't a homeowner with a mortgage or have a child in college (rather than be in college themselves).  [/quote]

I’m not sure if this was directed to me but I am a homeowner. Rent, mortgage (whatever) it’s a bill that ain’t cheap! I’ll just piin point that since that’s all you mentioned. I also said, even if they don’t have kids because I’ve had parents jokingly mentioned “oh you don’t have kids.” I smile but in the back of my head, im like “what the hell does that have to do with anything?!” Hell, I’m with yours 50+ hours a week!

The point was, “EVERYBODY” get your shit together! Life is hard enough, let’s work together so we’re all happy, so that your children are happy. [/quote]
