[quote=Anonymous]My employer works from home and it’s been rough.

She comes out on her lunch break to prepare a meal or move the laundry. My 2 year old charge is very clingy and attached to her. She will sit down and play with him - while I just stand there awkwardly and they both ignore me like I’m not even there. When she had to go back to work - he will cry so hard when she leaves. Sometimes she will come back out to engage him in a toy or activity to distract him, which only disrupts my attempts to soothe him.

She removed the baby gate from his playroom so he has full rein of the house. He will bang on her office door and she lets him in to get her "snuggle time" and then basically dismisses me for 15 minutes.

I asked her if I could put the gate back up and she said she didn’t want her son kept in the playroom all day. I told her he gets really distracted when he hears her voice and she basically just looked at me and didn’t offer a solution.

She is constantly micromanaging me. She will text me when he’s down for a nap and ask me to set up water or outside toys for him or fold his laundry after I’ve been chasing him around all morning.

I don’t know if I can keep this job with her constantly hovering. She only pays me $20/hr but basically treats me like a teenager. I asked her when she is planning on returning to her office and she said she’s going to be WFH indefinitely! [/quote]
