[quote=Anonymous]My first 3 nanny jobs were really bad! Thankfully now after 13 years as a nanny I've got a better sense about how to form good relationships with the families I work for.

The first family had an extremely violent 4 year old that watched wrestling all the time and played very violent video games. I quit after he threw a pair of scissors at me because I told him he couldn't have a cookie before dinner. When I told the parents what happened they told him they were taking away his video games for the rest of the night. He started screaming and throwing a tantrum so they gave him the cookie he wanted and sent him to go watch wrestling on TV. I quit that night and never looked back.

The second family were swingers and the parents used to talk about it in front of me. The mom would insist we be in her room in the morning when she would get ready and she would walk around completely naked. They were always drunk when I saw them and even tried to pay me in alcohol a few times because they were alcohol distributers. I was 19 at the time. The final straw was when they were at home while I was there they let their ill behaved husky in to the room and it attacked their baby. I reached in and hit the dog while grabbing the baby and when the parents came rushing in they tried to blame it on me. Then they told me if anyone questioned what happened I was to say he hit his head on the coffee table. I foolishly stayed a few more weeks until they could find a replacement because I actually felt guilty.

The 3rd family had a dad that would smoke pot in the house while we were at the park. I could always smell it when we got back and he left his bong in the kitchen cupboard. He would constantly walk around in a robe to use the shower on the other end of the house. He was always staring at me too and it made me so uncomfortable. The final straw was when the two year old got mad and bit me so hard it broke the skin. I put him in his room and walked away because I had to attend to my bleeding stomach. When the mom came home 4 minutes later and I told her what happened she yelled at me for putting him in his room by himself for so long. I quit that day without notice and never looked back.
