This is why I refuse to ever again work for at home parents.

Our nanny takes the kids out to classes/park/library every morning and every afternoon even though we don't work from home. They only come home for lunch and nap. Maybe you could suggest classes? It does add a lot of expense however. They have ballet and preschool and gymboree and gymnastics and it costs an extra $500-$1000 a month for 2 kids. But if they need quiet maybe it's worth it.

This is a nightmare. Last family I worked for, mom transitioned to work full time from home and dads work was super flexible so he was around all the time. I was allowed to take my charge out but that was not enough when the weather is bad or there is nothing to do out. He would bang on their door ND cry for them all day. I finally gave up ND quit.

Hope this helps

There's a good reason why most nannies will not consider an at-home parent, let alone two of them.

That needs to be a six figure job.

Can you suggest that they either both work upstairs or both work downstairs? That would at least give you one additional floor.

Your bosses are being absolutely unreasonable and are expecting the impossible.

Not happening.

When you have three young kids and two working parents this can only be described as a recipe for disaster. Or a second type of Hell.

Take your pick.

I would rather walk barefoot over broken glass shards 8hrs a day than do what you are doing.

The parents are asking you for the impossible and if they even THINK you can deliver what they are asking of you then they both need a head check.

Please salvage any sanity you still have and give them your walking papers.

If they ask why just respond you live in reality.

I guess that I just really wanted to make things work because the family is so nice to me and i have been with them for so long. But dealing with the new noise and room access restrictions is driving me crazy.

It was easier when the baby was still in a bouncy seat or high chair because I could plop him in there and do activities (board games, reading, baking, crafts) with the older two. But now that the baby is mobile I am just constantly chasing him around when I try to do an activity with the older two because he just doesn't have the attention span to sit for anything for more than a few mins.

Any time I bring this up to the parents they just say it's ok, they know I'm trying my best to keep them calm and don't blame me for the noise. And they just suggest using screens to keep them quiet when they start getting rowdy. But I just don't feel comfortable letting the tv and tablets babysit the kids for me.

I think you are all right in saying that I should move on because once they are home for the summer it's just going to get harder and more frustrating. But I'll be sad to leave because they are like family to me now.
