[quote=Anonymous]I’m currently nannying for a family of 6. I nanny an 11yo boy, an 8yo boy, and a 5yo girl. The 5yo threw a tantrum yesterday because her mother works from home and she asked me to keep the kids downstairs while she had meetings. This is a hard feat, as the children do not listen very well. The 5yo attempted to claw her way up the stairs, screaming and kicking, as her brothers tried to pull her back. This is my first nanny job, so I was not sure on how to handle it. The 5yo continued this tantrum for an hour.

She actually ended up getting so angry and frustrated that she bared her teeth at me and punched me on the arm, I texted the mother and she didn’t come down to the second floor, despite her daughter screaming. I was told by the 8yo that she had hit their previous nannies “a bunch”, so this was a really big red flag for me. The 5yo was going on about how her mom promised her she could have Ben & Jerry’s but the 5yo was screaming so much I didn’t quite understand what she meant until after, when the mother told me to take her to get the ice cream.

Should I be working with a family that commends this behavior?[/quote]
