[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny and some of these replies are ridiculous.  Jobs change over the years, you need to learn be flexible if you want to stay in a job long term.

I've been with my nanny family for just over 5 years. When I first started my start time was 9:30. It was like that for almost 2 years.  Then my DB got a new job and had to leave the house really early in the morning, so my start time changed to 8.  It was 8 for about a year and then my charges were starting preschool.  We would to leave the house at 8 to get there on time, so my start time changed to 7:30.  My end time has also changed with each of these changes so that I wasn't working too many hours.

During all of these changes I sat down with my employers and we had a discussion about the new needs and figured out a new schedule that worked. I used to love my 9:30 start time, but that's not what they need anymore.  I've also been flexible with my duties and taken on more household manager type stuff as the kids have grown and needed less.

Guess what? Here I am in a job 5 years later that I love.  My employers treat me like gold.  They thank me every day for helping to make their lives run better.  My charges are now in school full time and I'm still getting paid the same amount of money, no cut in hours.  So many of you these days are always complaining about every little thing and forget that this is a service industry.  Being flexible and adapting to changes in your job is the key to being able to stay in a job long term.  [/quote]
Sounds like your employers try to consider your needs, as well as their own. Count your blessings. Not all employers are like yours.[/quote]
