[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I accepted this job, MB never mentioned that she would be working-from-home every other Friday.  My employers and charge live in a small house and now that my charge is 1.5 years-old, it is impossible for me to keep her quiet inside the house.  MB interrupts us and comes into the room anytime her DD is laughing or whining which is very hard on both my charge and me.  [b]Either the baby will cling to me when she sees her mother or want her mother[/b] - neither is fun.  I also never know when MB is playing with the baby during the day if I can leave the room and do other things or if I am expected to stay with them.  MB also likes to work on her laptop in the living room which means I can only keep the baby in her bedroom.

It has nothing to do with anything nefarious or lazy I may/may not be doing during the day as I am on Nanny Cam all of the time when they are at work.

It might be easier to accept if I could understand WHY my employer would want to stay home to work and not go to her beautiful office just a 1/2 mile from their home.

You have to talk to your MB about NOT interrupting you and the child.  I would also talk to her about restricting a toddler to her bedroom and the need to be quiet.  Your concerns are about the child in your care, OP, and are all justified.

Quite frankly, I don't understand the desire to work from home in your MB's situation either.  If she had a long commute I could understand it but putting on work clothes and a little make-up takes a few minutes and is not worth disrupting your child's routine for, IMO.  [/quote]
