[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here..I started getting annoyed because it wasn t just the infested children I had to deal with stripping beds..doing 3 loads of laundry..bagging stuff animals...while children screamed and misbehave..bathed and then shampoo hair..Trying to settle them while I painstakingly comb out nits..
What do you think happened when the parent came home..NOTHING...all that was left to do I told them was vacuum..I came in th e next day and it was not done...

I do get aggravated when I hear nannies say they do all those things to make mb's/db life better because they work and come home and care for their kids..Those of us  who have families also go to work and work longer hours because we're on the job before they leave for work and after they're home..We also have husbands and children to care for after we enter our door..Some of don't go home a nd put our feet up like our work is done..

After I left their home where they had nothing left really to do to espouse their house I had the task of going home and doing t he same to mine. That night I finished my cleaning at a almost 12...
Do you want to guest what my employers were doing at that time..Sleeping..She said they were asleep about 9

Any guesses why I'm passed...[/quote]

It sounds like you have trouble managing the children you care for, even under ordinary circumstances.  It also sounds like you had a bad day, with more on your plate than usual.  EVERYONE, regardless of job type, has had days like that.  We deal with it, and we deal with being extra tired and feeling extra put upon once in a while.

If a full time nanny job with all the inherent stresses of working with kids is too much for you in view of your family obligations, you need to find part-time work or a new career.  The fact that you're tired and had to clean your own house after work does not warrant your bosses taking time off to delouse their own kids.  Yes, if they found out early enough to buy the supplies and do the initial shampoo the night before, they should have done that.  But no, they should not have taken time off from work to spare you the exposure or extra hassle of dealing with lice when they employ you specifically to nanny--not just babysit--their kids.  And yes, when it comes to lice, caring for the children means bagging up the stuffed animals and couch cushions in addition to combing out nits.

Funny how some of the nannies on here insist they are primary caregivers yet balk at any aspect of childcare that goes beyond simply "watching" the children.  This is a perfect example of something that separates the true nannies from the babysitters.
