This is great! Thanks for the reco.

in reply to: Traveling With Your Nanny Family (NF) #1466Thanks Leigh! This was helpful.
Ok. If there are not hourly requirements for overnight pay, what do you think is a fair over night rate?
Like a flat fee or a percentage discount off of regular hourly rate or something?
in reply to: Traveling With Your Nanny Family (NF) #1461Following! My NF just asked me if I would be interested in traveling with them. I would. But how does this work? I know nannies are suppose to be paid hourly but how does that work when I am with them around the clock?
The family has never had a nanny travel with them either so they are just as clueless as I. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
I think it is ok for an adult to say they need a “time out” or “calm down time”. I think it is actually a good thing because it models “awareness”.
After your “calm down time” you can return and say “thank you for giving me a little time so I could calm myself down to think more clearly.”
Then if there is an unresolved issue you can say “when you feel ready, I am now ready to finish our conversation”. If there is nothing to talk about you just thank them for understanding you needed a little space.
As a nanny caring for older children, I would def brief the parents on your tactic as of course children can spin things when they report the incident. lol
in reply to: Going rate for a night nanny? #848I hadnt heard of a “post partum doula”…is this typically a seperate specialist you hire or is this typically the same doula you used prenatally/during labor?
Hang in there mama, you’re not alone!
in reply to: Share your SANITY SAVERS #757Wine! And lots of it! Lol
My employer really likes their Acura MDX. It has a 3rd row.
