[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to add..

Be willing to meet initially. I’m tired of zoom calls and like to see the environment I’d be working in.

Pay on time. Nothing worse then having to remind the family. Also don’t expect nanny to pay for incidentals and then wait to be reimbursed (have petty cash available).

Don’t micromanage. Hopefully, the house is large enough where a work from home parent has a room out of the way.

[b]Respect the nanny’s privacy. A lot of parents are overly interested in what we do in our personal lives. They do not need to know every detail about our love lives, or what we did over the weekend.  It’s amazing how many moms get offended by a simple… “it was good/fine.”[/b]

I’m an employer and I call bs on this. Which busy parent gives that much of a sh*t about your personal lives? No one cares that much about you or anyone else really.[/quote]

No, it can be true.  I’m a nanny who previously worked for a celebrity couple and have stayed very close to them.  My former employer was constantly asking me about the celebrity mom and what I did when I saw them as well as prying into my life in hopes I’d mention my celebrity employers.  She wanted to be friends with my celebrity mother so badly.

Lucky my current employers don’t care about celebrities and never pry.  [/quote]

Same.  I had a former employer who wanted to be my friend so badly and was always asking me personal questions and telling me very personal details of her life.  She’d often call me during the work day to tell me something that was going on with her that had nothing to do with her child.

Sadly, a lot of “busy parents” give more than a sh*t about the nanny’s personal life for lots of weird reasons. [/quote]
