Op here the family told me your mom is welcome to come if you want to go to school full time.
If you have employe you could do that but everyone is not like you.

And this is why I make $30/hr. Because when I show up to interviews there has been a parade of clowns like OP before me, and the parents are so happy to finally find an educated professional nanny. Keep it up, op!!

You family probably let you go because they knew this 3 month visit was happening again

This is absurd. Do you know nothing about American culture? No you can't ask for you mom to stay for 3 months! What is wrong with you???

I am the previous poster who asked OP if there was a friend or neighbor who could spend some time w/the OP’s Mother.

I just wanted to clarify that I didn’t mean the entire time that OP was not home.
Thx!

OP-
Please do not take your Mother along on job interviews w/the hope that your potential employers will see right away how awesome she is, then be a-okay w/letting her accompany you to work everyday.

I promise you that that will not happen.
You likely will just lose job opportunities.
Sorry. :/

Anonymous wrote:Op here , I am working as nanny almost seven years. All my previous employer never had any issue with that. The difference is I was working with the family when my mom visited me. So , once they met my mom they accepted her happily.
Now, I am going to start with new family . It’s not like before.
Before I was working with families now I am going to start with a family.
The best thing is I will take my mom when I will go for interview. ( I will not ask them but I will mention that she is visiting I will mention the situation)If they offer me so I will take her with me if they don’t then I will start my classes after she will leave. I had been with very nice families. My mom visit me every two years or every year.
Thanks for all replies

You are so immature, OP. You are making a huge mistake taking your mother with you for an interview!

But for a new job, let alone for a whole month, it's just a really bad idea. Find another option.

Yes I agree

If she is from the UK, presumably she speaks English and can find her way around easily using public transportation. If you need to be with her 24/7 during the visit, do it while you are unemployed or take vacation if you are employed. I'm surprised your former employers allowed you to let her tag along while you were working. Or perhaps they felt pressured to do so and are now using the excuse of preschool as the reason for letting you go.

Op here , I been with family for three years. They always upset when my mom traveled. They are the one who bought her ticket as gift whenever she wanted to visit US. I agree with your thoughts it’s going to be new family so it’s understandable.
Let’s see maybe I will find part time job .
thanks for all replies STILL I think there is people who understand situation like my last employer.
I don’t need more suggestions.

How badly do you need a job? Because dragging your mom along to interviews is going to make it a lot less likely that you will be hired. So if you really need a job right away, you were going to have to prioritize making a living over hanging out with your mom. I know that it sucks that she spent all this money on a plane ticket, but if you need to be employed then you need to be employed and you need to focus on that right now. You say she cannot change the ticket, but in most cases one can change those sorts of things, it’s just that there is a change fee or that you lose money. I think you need to be really clear on what your options are with that. If you can afford to take some time off and just hang out with your mom, then do that but do not drag her along to interviews and expect to be hired.

If I was interviewing you and you brought your mom along to the interview, I wouldn’t hire you. I don’t think you seem to understand how unprofessional you are appearing by making this request.

Op here yes I agree this is my stress.
