The part that is offensive to me is the part where my MB gets first refusal on a potential job for ME. What if their needs didn't match up exactly and my MB decides this isn't the job for me? Wtf. Maybe I dont even want to continue working for someone who is apparently 1 paycheck away from broke. Why even deal with a middle man? Why couldn't OP just advertise for a temporary nanny like everyone else, and let nannies decide what does or doesn't work for them. An MB would be free to say this might work for my nanny and pass it on to her nanny, or make first contact, but to put the decision of whether or not a job fits someone's needs in the hands of their employer is looking out for the needs of said employer, not the employee. That is what is offensive.

I'm really tired of all the bull shit nannies get for sticking up for themselves. No I'm not stupid. No I haven't been drinking. And you know what, all you hoighty toighty MBs (mommy bitches), lots of nannies have degrees, including this one. You are not better than me, so step off. [/quote]

Okay. I hear what you're saying. But just because OP posted here doesn't mean 1) nannies who have already been given unpaid leave couldn't reach out to her directly (it isn't like she's going to ask to talk to your boss to OK it - although she might want to talk to them for a reference) 2) that OP isn't posting in other locations to target nannies. Just like when a nanny job comes to an end we expect our MBs to use their network to help us find a new position - and aren't offended by her generous offer to help us collect some leads even though we are also scouring care.com and calling our agencies - this is truly an inoffensive post. You're just looking for a reason to be outraged. There are plenty of legitimate issues to be defensive about, but this really isn't one of them.[/quote]
