The Nanny/Mom Stare

I love walking around Hoboken.  That being said, I don't care for the stares that I get from Moms when they realize that I'm the Nanny.  It's kind of like "Look at me!  I'm a Mom!"  Whereas I'm like, "Good God.  How corny are you?"  It's really a Hoboken thing I think.  It reminds me of a game where who is doing things better.  

Not a competition, people.

Emailed Confessions of a Nanny

 Part X

This is a great topic because I am happy to see that other Nannies experience this.  This email is from a Hoboken Nanny named Simmy. 

"Most days when I get to work, on the kitchen table are personal documents.  Bank statements, bills, blood work results, the list goes on.  I don't know why the Parents feel the need to lay these out in the open.  I wonder if they think that I don't look.  I guess they don't care that I see how much money is in their bank account or their tax forms for the year at tax time with their salary on it.  I'm happy with it because now I know how much I can ask for when my raise comes around.  But it's none of my business, Parents, to know that you have an STD and that your bank account has $1,000 in it.  But thanks for letting me know."

 

Why Family Members Suck

 Sometimes I have to deal with family members who come and visit the family that I Nanny.  Whether it's Aunt's and Uncle's or Grandparents, I don't really care to deal with them because then I feel like I become a slave instead of a Nanny.  Picking up coffee cups and glasses left on the table.  It's really not my job.  Why else do I find them annoying?  Because I hear things like "Oh yeah, she(the Mom) will be potty training X soon."  

Did you just say that the "Mom" will be potty training her kid?  In reality, did you mean that me, the "Nanny" will be potty training her kid?  Because that's what I thought you said.  

Do family members really think that the Parents raise their kids?  

Let's take a look.  

Parents have a Nanny(me) because they chose to have a Nanny while they work 50+ hours a week.  So, by the time the Parents get home, they put the kids to bed.  I feed them dinner, I give them a bath, I get them ready for bed.   

Tell me how are the Parents raising their kids?  

It's about time that Parents fess up and say who really does the potty training.  Because it sure as hell isn't them!

Christmas Day

I got an email from a Hoboken Nanny named Erica.  Here's her email:

"I have already taken all of my vacation for the year and to make up for it the family wants me to work on christmas.  Its a legal holiday and I celebrate christmas so I should have it off.  What do I do?"

Well, Erica, simply tell them you are not working.  If they also celebrate Christmas then there is no reason to have you work.  If they don't celebrate Christmas then you tell them that you do celebrate and have plans with family.  You need to tell them that it's a legal holiday that you would get off regardless of using your holiday time.  Case closed.

And Parents, wtf are you thinking asking your Nanny to work on a legal holiday?  You want her to work, then guess what?  Holiday pay kicks in.  Regardless if you celebrate Christmas.  It's a holiday.  You pay holiday rates for Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.  It's one thing to work on Kwanzaa or Hanukkah since those holiday's last for days.  It's another to work on Jesus' Birthday.
