[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:37, you not only have a chip on your shoulder, but a complete ignorant. Grow up, I wouldn't hire you because of that attitude; where'd you get that ideas? Aaah stereotype!![/quote] You're not in a position to hire anyone since you are also a nanny. Sad story is this PP is correct. American nannies don't need a month off to visit family in Montana. American nannies speak understandable English and are able to communicate clearly when they need help and during employment negotiations.  American nannies who have graduated college with skills that are marketable in America don't take nanny jobs because it's the only job they can get without papers. American nannies are a little less likely to be glued to their cell phones (emphasis on the work 'little'). American nannies do not clean toilets. I could go on and on here but hopefully you get the picture. And the picture ain't PC.[/quote]

American nanny here.  Please don't generalize.  I know plenty of nannies (myself included) who clean a toilet when a little boy pees all over it or as part of light housekeeping while kids are in school.  I would much rather spend 3 minutes cleaning the toilet thrice per week than doing a number of tasks normally included in "light" housekeeping, including dusting!  And although I am American, my family and friends are scattered worldwide, so I prefer using two years of vacation at once for a longer trip (coordinating with MB/DB of course).  Yes, most American nannies have English as a first language, but there are a number who don't.[/quote]
I'm sorry, but you sound more like a doormat rather than a nanny. You should be teaching your charge to clean his own pee from the toilet seat. Then he'll probably figure out how to pee IN the toilet. Little children need to participate in cleaning up after themselves, or they'll become lifelong slobs. Or should his wife do what you're doing?[/quote]
