[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a family for about three years.  I was very underpaid $12 an hour with no raise, no PTO, no benefits at all for three years.  I was oblivious to standard rates and benefits and very young when I started the job (19).   I had been wanting to quit for years due to low pay and treatment but I adored the children.  I started when the youngest was 3 months old.  I had enough in February and found another position.  I have a two weeks notice.  My employer became very angry and let me go the next day (a Saturday).   So the family who hired me asked if I could start earlier since I didn’t have to finish out my two weeks.  I started my new job that following Monday and Wednesday my old employer contacted me and said she needed me to come back and finish my two weeks.  I couldn’t, and she was VERY angry (left a scathing Care review and tried to contact my new employers.  All things not out of character).  I didn’t hear from her for weeks, and it hurt because I missed he kids.  In mid-March she asked if I could babysit on an a Saturday.  I agreed.  It went fine, she was friendlier but complained about the new nanny they hired.  I enjoyed seeing the kids.  Things have been ok, I get pictures of the kids and saw them every couple of weeks.  On Tuesday the youngest was injured on their new nannies watch.  Nanny went outside to talk on the phone, the toddler (18 months) got out of crib during nap, feel down stairs. Fractured skull, concussion, broken demure and cracked ribs.  I found out yesterday when my ex-employer texted me a rant about how I’m at fault because I put her in a tough situation and she had to find whoever could start because I didn’t finish out my two weeks.  She said I didn’t care about her kids and wouldn’t get to see them again.  It was awful and I’m still extremely upset and feel guilty.  I do love and adore those kids, she makes it seem like I avoided them and I guess I did.

She always made me feel so guilty while working for her, and it still continues.  I want to visit my charge in the hospital, I feel so terrible she got so hurt.[/quote]
