[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never been fired, but with my first nanny job I was threatened several times for calling in sick (from a stomach flu, I got from them) and not texting my MB essentially while driving (she wanted to know when we left, and when we were 30 minutes away.  No stoplights, so I texted when we were closer and I could stop).  She was miserable and has gone through 17 nannies since I left in 2012.

I've known nannies who were fired for:

-Repeated improper carseat use
-Falling asleep daily, and neglecting the children.
-Taking too many sick days
- Not finishing daily chores
- Posting negative information about families on social media
- Posting pictures of their NK's without permission on social media
- Giving the children sleep aids before nap
- Refusing to follow the parents wishes 
- Spanking
- Asking for a raise
- Asking for overtime, other benefits
- Asking to be paid on the books
-Being late to work due to a car accident 
-Telling the child no
-Calling the employer by their first name
- Refusal to wear set uniform
- Refusal to  reorganizing the pantry
- Refusal to deep clean refrigerator

There are many legitimate and ridiculous reasons nannies are fired.

Oh wow. 
Calling the employer by their first name and the uniform? Good lord people.[/quote]

I have a feeling that's not the real reason.[/quote]

I interviewed for a position which required Mr. and Mrs. so-and-so, uniforms, etc.  I was told upfront that any deviation would result in one warning then dismissal.  I told them that I clearly was not a good fit, as I see a nanny as a parent's partner in raising their child, not someone that the child views as "the help" so disrespects.  Sorry, but I can easily believe this![/quote]

It's absolutely true.  Some employers really just another human being to control and humiliate.  [/quote]
