If your employer refuses to pay or doesn’t have the funds on time, you have three options: quit on the spot, give them the benefit of the doubt until the next day and hope it won’t happen again, or let them know there’s an extra charge (usually an hour or two of gross pay) per day it’s late. Your choice. My contract has it spelled out as to what happened the first and second times; there is no third time.

She said she has 10+ years of experience. But seems like a total troll post. Also, I do care what my employers do for work. Not until he sense that I’m nosy but I want to know they can pay me and are not out there commuting crimes to get their money. Again, the story sounds fake but I could see why mom lied about being a stripper. However, the money is guaranteed every single time so I wouldn’t work for a stripper.

It’s tricky being a career nanny when you have young children yourself. I will try it again when my kids are older. A school setting gives me a bit more protection from crazy employers. Nannies don’t have HR, unfortunately.

You sound so fake.

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?
