Have everything like grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning and gym on the weekends. Do power walks with your baby-charge and floor exercises while he/she is napping to keep up your weight loss. Use your breaks at work wisely and do what refreshes you (not the phone). I used to do meditation and deep breathing.

It doable, the money is great, but you need to readjust your life. I worked 7 to 7 and was in bed by 8:30 (my phone off at 8 and in the other room) and got up at 5. I had five shirts and five pairs of pants hung up and ready. I had my dinners planned on Sunday and very simple.


You had no life!


She had weekends and it wasn’t forever. Her post is genius, actually. I’m going to incorporate some of her ideas and I work just nine hour days.

Think about this child when you leave... You’ll become her world, and she’ll suffer the consequences of abandonment by her primary caregiver. Why don’t the parents want to parent?

In non-pandemic times, I was also fine with my nanny running errands with kiddo. In pandemic times, however, I would probably be uncomfortable with it, especially with a child too young for both vaccine and masking.


Grocery pick up, non-contact?


I would say great, go for it! Others may disagree (and I might feel differently if we were talking about multiple stops that ended up being hours in the car seat), but a quick curbside stop or two is not a big deal. Kiddo would be doing the same if a parents stayed home.


Once or twice a week to one or two stores for pick up shouldn't be a problem, in my opinion, if the parent would have otherwise been fine with errands prior to covid.

Do you need that 15-20 hours of downtime to take care of your own business, socialize or unwind? My nanny schedules appointments before and after work if possible. Only you can answer that question.

Its like u boarding school, some parents can only take 2 days with their child. I would not take this job, they need 2 people or mom needs to take on some parenting duties. But I say it is a troll post since its hard to imagine such parents.
