But yes, a bit bizarre. Would you have wanted to cook clean and watch kids? As a mom, I look for nanny who can be a second mom, so cooking and cleaning and caring and teaching is part of the scope of the job. We have had two very long term nannies. They seem happy with the gig and do not feel like they are servants. And yes pay is above $25/hr, guaranteed full time hrs with overtime pay. Sometimes odd hours but not because I'm a stripper...doctor actually.


op here. I am also a mom as well. I can't do all of those things well, so no, I wouldn't expect it. IF both kids were napping simultaneously, I could add on 30 minutes of housework—a slow cooker meal, for example, and folding children's laundry. As a mom, I feel like I am forever doing housework, and there's no time to spend playing with them. I have two very wild boys, though. You also guarantee total time DAY TIME hours. That's a big difference from what this woman wants. I was working 9 pm- 3 am. I don't want to work for a stripper. They aren't known to be stable people, and this lady proved that to me. She doesn't vax her child, and she texted me a lot. There was a lot of drama with her. I wouldn't feel right taking money from someone who takes off their clothing for a living. People's girlfriends and wives are at those places, and I have choices. Most families who can afford a nanny have professional jobs. They aren't the time of people who quit their jobs frequently. This lady even admitted to not paying me one day because she didn't make any money that night. I didn't know what she meant until I heard from another person in my building that she was a stripper.



I meant to say she told me she couldn't pay me one day because she didn't have the money. No one wants to hear that!


Then quit. What is the drama?

Plenty of parents choose to hire a nanny versus going to the daycare route because they have unusual hours. Frankly, IDC what the parents do, as long as the children aren't given age-inappropriate information and they're able to pay me.

With that said, if she's out until 3 am every night, either she needs a nanny who lives in or she needs someone who is fine with those hours.

You did more than dodging a bullet!! You saved yourself some headache. She didn't value your work and even more minimized your experience as a nanny.

This is bizarre that she'd want to pay a nanny fee and thinks an agency will have a licensed nanny. There is no such thing. Find a new job.

The woman wants a servant, not a nanny.
Excellent that you resigned on the spot!

No loss at all, OP. But do you really want to cook and clean? Please never accept a maid’s responsibilities with your credentials and experience. And never accept a job for under $25 an hour.

No. You dodged a bullet. Good for you, OP, seriously. Every other post is a doormat post. The mom is a flake. If she needed someone to cook and clean, she should have spoken to you about it in the interview and offered extra duties and higher pay or at the very least had enough sense to make up an excuse why she doesn't need you anymore after she finds someone else.

OP here. She also never asked me if I could cook or clean when I interviewed with her or whenever she decided this was what she needed.
