[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here! I literally worked for a family raising their 6 year old daughter for the past 6 years. I did everything for this family. Mom and dad aren’t married they basically live their own lives and don’t get along. When the pandemic hit they asked me to become a live in because they didn’t want me to take public transportation to work and I agreed. I don’t have any children or boyfriend or husband so I agreed. Big mistake!! They argued all day and night physically fight, curse each other out I often found myself separating some of their fights. They’ll use their child against each other. It was just a huge depressing mess. I only stayed because the little girl was and still is very attached to me. The mom can be nice sometimes other times mean and nasty. Coming down to the end of my time with them ( school started in September and she went off to school) they had this huge fight and the mom asked the dad to leave her house as she would always do and this one time he just let her have it. The child started screaming guys stop so I had to ask him to please stop yelling he turned to me and said “f off” I was like you can’t be serious. That was the last time I spoke to that man. Coming down to the end of the job my last day to be exact I let my promise to the child and saw her off to school on her first day. Her mom paid me for the week and gave no severance like she promised until I mentioned it. Now I’ve been a nanny for 18 years and after you’re  done with the family they thank you at least. These people didn’t. I put my pride aside and went downstairs to say my goodbyes to the dad his response was “what do you want” I said well I just wanted to say I’m leaving now, he responded “ok I’m sure we will see you again.” By that time I’m holding in my tears the mom gave me my pay called me an Uber. I hugged her she told me “come on you are messing up my makeup.” I left I didn’t get a thank you, a reference letter NOTHING. I worked in an environment that was so unhealthy, I worked through a pandemic having lost family, friends crying in my room with no one asking if I’m ok. I stayed because I felt sad for their little one, I remember one fight they had in the middle of the night and she crawled in my bed for cuddles smh. I stuck it out for her sake and it’s a month later and I’m still texting her to give me a reference letter. Her response is always the same “work is so busy but no worries I’ll work on it this week,” and I won’t hear from her again. I’m sad because these people told me constantly “you’re like family to us” I don’t just do childcare I took care of all of them. I was a nanny, hairdresser, confidant, shoulder to cry on, a friend, sister. I was everything to these people for six long years and with my background in childcare I could’ve and should’ve left but my heart wouldn’t let me. I’m depressed because of how I was treated in the end. But who am I to complain right. I’m only a nanny/the help.[/quote]
