[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a Nanny & usually can see things more from a Nanny’s perspective however I have to admit that I feel you dropped the ball on this one.

Reason being is that for one, $27/Hr is a good rate for a three-yr. old.
And I do not find it unusual that this little boy’s Mother wanted you to take him to the park after breakfast.

Lots of kiddos (As both a parent as well as a Nanny!) will initially say that they do not want to go to the park….or basically anywhere!
However once they get there, they are usually happy but I am jumping along too quickly here….

Anyway if a parent requests that you take her child to the park after breakfast - then that is an entirely reasonable thing to ask.
Mornings are usually best (especially during the summer due to the heat) as it allows the child to play + exercise so hopefully his afternoon nap will be a good one since he should be tired out from playing at the park.

An afternoon jaunt to the park likely will not bode well for his schedule as it will be hotter by afternoon plus afternoons are typically when the child naps as this Mother said her child does.

And if the house temperature is set to 64 degrees & you are uncomfortable you should have texted/called the Mother and let her know or if she works outside the home > set the A/C temp yourself until she came home.
I highly doubt that she would have had an issue w/you doing this nor would any parents.

Keep these pointers in mind so that going forward you will have a clearer idea of what most parents will expect.[/quote]
