[quote=Anonymous]OP here let me elaborate a bit more. I am not a sit on the couch type of nanny like some of you assume, I have also been a nanny for well over 25 years. I also engage with the kids including baby, I teach because my degree is in education and I do everything that comes with caring for her children. I started helping her more because she is always stressed out because her husband refuses to do more to help her so now I cook dinner (not in my contract) and some other stuff around the house. I was clear when I started doing this that this isn't my job and I can only offer help when time permits, my focus are the kids. Now here we are with the baby and health issues, her new ask is I sit in the hospital for 3 hours every week for the next two months while the baby undergoes tests then hurry back home to basically play catch up with the other "nanny" duties. Her husband's response is "I can't" for everything so she depends on me to fill in where he falls short. After reading some of these responses it's clear the nanny community has changed drastically. When I started nannying many years ago the request was solely to provide care for children that means, laundry, engaging, cook for the kids, clean up their areas and also teach them. Now in 2025 the asks are insane and the pay doesn't compensate for it. A lot of the responses said "its your job do it or they should fire you." I can only imagine who's behind the keyboard typing this and it makes me sad to think that you truly believe that your nanny role spreads widely to the point where you believe that just because it involves the child it is your job which isn't always the case. I asked for advice from mainly parents out of curiosity to see if most parents think this way but suprisingly the parents that did respond agreed with my decision to decline and they explained why but the nannies on the other hand like most of their posts on here were rude. Regardless I am a superb nanny with the references and background to prove it and I know my value and worth, me declining doesn't make me a bad nanny it just means I refuse to be taken advantage of. Have a wonderful day and thank you for all the responses.[/quote]
