[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though I spend the majority of time with your child, I know when to step back and let you be mom. I respect your rules and your moods. I know how hard it is for you to leave your child with me everyday so you can work so I endeavor to make you feel at ease when your child is with me and in charge when your child is with you. I don't give advice, I make suggestions. I don't refer to your child as mine. They are not mine, they are yours. I'm there when you need me and away when you don't. I know when you want to talk and act like you're my friend and when you want to be left alone and act like I'm the help. I'm not your mom or your sister. I'm your employee. But I'm there if you need me. For anything.[/quote]

You are a doormat.[/quote]

Any mb that thinks this is an ok relationship to have with a person that takes care of YOUR CHILDREN is out of their mind and a real b!tch.  Who uses terms like "the help" in 2016? And then wrapping up this note with "but I'm there if you need me. For anything." Excuse me? Yes this sounds like a grade A doormat or concubine.  A professional nanny comes to work on time, is on the same page as the parents with discipline, gives details when necessary, and keeps personal conversation, both ways, friendly and short. But most of all puts the needs of the child first and keeps them safe and entertained throughout the day. I've not seen much mentioned about the actual kids in this above post only tons of brown nosing and butt kissing for an entitled mb.

There are tons of mbs that think it's ok to use the nanny as a built in sounding board when they come home from work to complain about their bosses and co workers or their husbands etc. yet once the nanny tries to converse back the conversation gets shut down immediately. The nanny probably didn't want to share in the first place but felt uncomfortable because the mb is going on and on.

And no nanny should feel less than when it comes to the family she is working for or like they should be there for "anything" other than the job they were hired for. It's ok to help out here and there especially if it's a family that doesn't job creep of take advantage but that doesn't make them any more professional than the nannies that do what they are hired to do. Being there for "anything" and taking cues on when to be dismissed like a lady in waiting to the queen of England is ridiculous and a doormat.[/quote]
