Go away troll. People nanny for a LIVING not just for your precious snowflake. The family is abusive and doesn't deserve a nanny.

I agree 100% that this person is a troll looking for trouble and needs to go away but don't assume it's an MB. I think there are crazy people on here, not nannies or MBs, either trying to make one or the other look bad or who just enjoy stirring up drama.

I don't think you should go back given the way they are treating you, although I did like the PP's response who suggested you tell them first if that continue to treat you like this you will not be able to finish the 2 weeks. It depends on if you want to stay or not. I don't you have any obligation to though given how they have treated you.

I think you should just keep working for them for the next 2 weeks like you said you would unless of course it does get threatening or they stop paying you.Sometimes us nannies have to just suck it up and be the bigger person. In the end it's only 2 weeks. Congrats on the new job !!

I once nannied for a family for a few years and then I just got tired of taking care of their brat. So one morning when I knew that MB would need to go to an important business meeting I just didn't show up. She started calling me off the hook and when I finally picked up I just told her. "I'm an employee. You took a risk hiring me. I can quit for whatever reason I want!" So there! I could hear the mom and the kid crying in the background, but who gives a shit. I'm just an employee. Too bad for them. He, he!!!!

Also, I don't believe how you're describing the parents. You took their job, met their child and they were able to fee up their schedules and feel secure in their childcare because they employed you. All of the above is a very hard adjustment for a family- particularly the part about introducing you to their child. No parent wants to expose their child to new people on a monthly basis because the nanny could care a less and ups and quits for whatever flippant reason there is. You wouldn't want that to happen to your child, so why would you do that to someone else's? Because you're a gross and selfish individual is why.

Again, it'll be nice when you're making your plans and planning your finances and when it's all set your boss just says, "Oh, we don't need you anymore. Have a nice life." I'm smiling just thinking about that. Nothing like a taste of one's own medicine!

Wtf are you talking about? People quit jobs. And you can quit for whatever reason you like. That's the risk of hiring an EMPLOYEE. They can quit. OP did nothing wrong. Crawl back under your bridge.

I've been there OP. I finally just had to tell them "I understand that you are upset, but I've given you the notice we upon and I'm committed to doing everything I can to finish on a good note. That being said, if you continue to speak to me in the manner you have been (or whatever it is they are doing) I will not be able to work through the end of my notice period. It's your choice." In my case, they were yelling and arguing with me each morning, threatening to sue me, playing games with my paycheck, etc. and the dad had already flat out told me that if I used them as a reference he would do everything he could to screw me over, and I began to fear a physical attack. This from a family that had truly claimed to adore me, and had always given me perfect performance reviews. Giving notice as a nanny is literally DANGEROUS, careerwise and potentially physically, and the MBs on this site really just don't get it.

OP, it sucks that they're acting immature about this, I completely agree. But it's only another week, right? Why fail to honor your commitment and COMPLETELY burn the bridge? Tell the father that you can't come in any earlier than your start time, of course - that's just ridiculous at this point. But fulfill your commitment and you'll feel better about yourself in the long run. Congrats on the new job!

Congrats on the new job. At least you didn't have to give a month's notice or anything. If you can afford to just walk away you should feel free to tell them today is your last day and wish them well, given the way they're treating you.

This seems very typical behavior of how families treat their nannies once their nannies give their notice...Even those that give adequate notice!!

Your family is acting immature and they are going to make your last weeks unbearable if you stay OP.

They are mad because they are getting a great deal w/you and they know this. They know they will not be able to find another sitter as good as you for what they are paying you.

Oh well.

Since you are barely making peanuts w/them AND they are acting so childish and inconsiderate, I would leave as soon as I get what I am owed.

They do not deserve you at all the way they are treating you.

You have every right to seek another job if it's in your best interests and they have nothing to say about them.

Good luck.

Do not go back OP. you have a new job line up..yes? So don't worry about this crap hole one. You tried giving notice to these fools and all they do is backlash at you. Not your faulty they can't compete with a good compensation. I wouldn't go back especially if I had a job lined up. They're being rude. Just send an email terminatif yourself. Did these clowns expect a lot for a little?

personally, I would not go back. I have a low tolerance for BS like you describe. If it were otherwise going well that would be different, but there's no reason to subject yourself to that nonsense if you don't have to. Sorry it's ending like that and good luck in your next venture.

So I have been babysitting for neighbor's infant for about a month. It's not full on nanny job as I am mainly just responsible for caring for the baby and not anything else because they aren't able to pay that well. I took it because they live really close by and I had planned on working extra babysitting jobs to increase my total income. Well I was recently offered a part-time nanny position with another infant from a family that will pay twice what I make now. They sought me out from an old posting I had up and forgotten about. Well I checked into it and it turns out, this a job I really cannot turn down. It will be the same amount of hours for twice the pay, and I get along with the family really well. So here, I have given the two weeks notice for my current sitting job (no contracts involved) and now the baby's mom is making going back there very uncomfortable for me. She is short with me, will barely speak to me or look at me and I have to remind her to pay me which she seems very pissy about (never had to remind her before). It's very tense. If I had known this is how it would, I would seriously have considered not giving any notice. Wondering if I should even bother going back for the rest of my notice period. The funny thing is, the dad has asked me to come even earlier on Monday for no extra pay because he has crap going on at work or something. I can't believe they had the nerve to even ask me that after getting all pissed at me taking a job that will work better for me.
