[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very surprised by negativity here from professional child caregivers. Seriously? I understand it is unpleasant to change poopy diapers of big kids, and yes parents might have needed to disclose more, but these are the kids that you are paid to cared for, and somewhere in the process you must have said "I LOVE kids"... So, OK, you just got to a family and see this as an issue, so talk to the parents as a professional. There might be medical issues, parents might have read some article that "kids need to initiate it" and don't know any better, etc... It doesn't necessarily mean parents are lazy... You should be working as a team with the parents, not blaming/judging them at every corner -- then you will never have productive, professional healthy relationship.[/quote]

OP stated clearly that there are no medical issues as reported by the parents.  You have no idea what kind of nonsense most nannies/babysitters have heard and seen from parents.  Most nannies understand that issues as discussed here are never the child's fault -- and always the parents fault.  And occasional weekend babysitters are NOT part of the "team".

I would never knowingly accept a occasional weekend job to care for a NORMAL 4 year old who was still in diapers.  I would have no respect for the parents I was working for and that is never a good situation.  [/quote]
