[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very PT nanny position. Three days per week, 5 hours each day. The mom casually mentions she's working with an agency to find a nanny who cooks, cleans, and cares for children. She even said it would cost 3k to see this "licensed person." I gave them a full security clearance when I began the job because I was also applying to be a sub. She even asked me if I thought 3k was too much to spend on a nanny finders fee, and oh, she also mentioned she would pay this person $19 per hour to be on call. The hours are brutal for me because she works until 3 am. She did not offer me this other job even though I have the availability. Anyway, I quit on the spot, and she was shocked. She said I wasn't being professional. I told her she doesn't value me if she's looking for a replacement. She's not entitled to 2 weeks if she's firing me. In what world is that okay? In any other field, if you knew you were going to get fired, you would quit. When you're fired, they want you out of the office the same day. I was only with the family for a month, so it's not a huge loss. She kept telling me she's looking for a "real" nanny, and I have 10+ years of experience as a nanny. I have a degree in early childhood education, references. [/quote]

You did more than dodging a bullet!! You saved yourself some headache. She didn't value your work and even more minimized your experience as a nanny. [/quote]
