[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not.

As nannies, we often get screwed over by our employers more so than with other professions. We get under paid, not paid on time and many families like to tack on add'l household duties to our workload even though they never discussed this upfront.

Then when we try to talk this out and negotiate with them, things usually take a turn for the worst and turn quite ugly.
This usually does not bode well for the nanny and the nanny usually has to leave on not so good terms.

The majority of the reasons that nannies leave positions on bad terms have absolutely nothing to do with how she cared for the children in her care....They have everything to do with her relationship with the parents she worked for!!

I am a nanny who is currently working for an amazing family. I have worked for about five amazing families recently, however it has not always been so. When I first started out, I was quite naive and many families suspected this and took full advantage of this.

I was treated poorly and when I took a stand, I was replaced. I couldn't use these families as references for obvious reasons, however that didn't make me a bad nanny.[/quote]
