Yeah no. The child needs an interested parent and a competent nanny.

A PP offered excellent ideas for how to improve for your next job. Don't start a thread solely to trash talk a 5 year old. It makes you look incredibly immature.

I don’t remember ever trash talking her. The only thing that could’ve been misconstrued was the title. And if so, rather than calling me immature, maybe ask about the punching situation (if you had actually read my post you would’ve picked up on it), and then you’d understand whhy I asked that question. Thanks for your incredibly rude input, but it was not needed.

I did read your previous post.
"What is wrong with the child I'm nannying" is the title of this post - you think that's appropriate?
"Next." ??? Lol ok. That further proves my point that you're coming off as very immature.

The "what's wrong" doesn't matter - you are handling the situation poorly, and you need more experience. I wouldn't trust you with my kids, based on your posts. At most you should be a mother's helper.

Now, I can take constructive criticism, as I have from the nice people here who have told me how to improve, rather than calling me immature and giving me unwanted opinions. So I would appreciate it if you no longer commented under this thread.

Don't even waste your time OP reading those horrible comments from this Terrible mom. We should feel sorry her. She must be one of the mom who who don't teach her kids respect other and her discipline for sure it's very poor. And she is saying she will never trust her kids to a person like you. But I can barely inmagine a crowd of Nannies dying to be hired by her lol. With a crazy and horrible mom. No way.

Thank you for this comment, but I don't think she is a terrible mom. I believe she is feeling personally attacked, as I'm pretty sure she commented under my other post about my getting punched, saying that her five year old also hit their nanny. It is understandable, but not an excuse.

1 - not a terrible mom
2 - don't have a 5 year old
3 - my only comment on the other post was to say

This is your first nanny job, and it sounds like you're way over your head.
If you want to stay with this job, you need to work out better ground rules. The kids need to know you're in charge.
Do they have a yard or other space? Are you stuck in the basement all day?

4 - nope. don't feel attacked. Although you didn't call the child a brat, sociopath, etc, the initial post set the tone of trying to diagnose a child with minimal information.

A 5 year old ignoring a new caregiver is very typical behavior, even in normal times. Add in a pandemic, a working from home mom, and other factors, and yes - there will be additional behavior issues for some kids.
Instead of asking what you could do better, you asked what's wrong with the child.
