[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MBs who are the most seemingly open and effusive are the biggest phonys.  Beware of the employers who pretend to be so loving and caring - they are lying.  Because you and the parents share a love for their child,  the parents can manipulate you into turning down better jobs or complaining about late returns and added nanny-tasks.  And they will fire you in an instant.

It is a job.  Love the child and do right by your charge - but never believe that your employers love or even care about you.

Lessons learned the hard way.

Agreed. Protect yourself. I let my current MB say these things but I always remember this is a job and I must look out for myself. My last long-term position ended badly and that MB was supposedly my “friend” and felt I was family and “didn’t know what they’d do without me.” But when I did leave she treated me like shit and threatened that I couldn’t see the kids anymore out of spite. Now when I see them she can’t even look me in the eye. But I love these kids and enjoy seeing them every few months and they love to see me too. [/quote]

No matter what kind of job you hold, your boss is never ever your friend.[/quote]
