How are you?If you're looking at the expense side of the equation, take a close look at the rent you're paying if the space is leased. Even if you've already signed a lease agreement, there is nothing to prevent you from approaching the landlord or property owner to renegotiate the lease or request a reduction.See more at- <a href="http://24hourlaundromatanddrycleaners.com" rel="nofollow">North York coin laundromats</a><br /><br /><br />Thanks and welcome<br />Alexander ArianaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770894947677763050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-82978706703516142192015-06-16T06:34:04.902-04:002015-06-16T06:34:04.902-04:00I am also a commercial cleaner and I know its impo...I am also a commercial cleaner and I know its importance.

It can be a really difficult topic to bring up with your nanny family and I myself have even struggled with it during my own nanny years. As many have mentioned, it's imperative to bring this up during the interview so both parties have a clear understanding and agreement to the nanny's daily responsibilities, although even if it is discussed beforehand (and even written into a work agreement), problems can still arise. I always advise to bring it up as soon as you notice it has become a problem, because the longer you wait, the more serious the problem can become and as a result, more hostility builds up. It is not always easy to bring it to your employer's attention, but if you still want to continue working for the family, sometimes you have to dig deep to find some courage and strength and approach the parents. Alternatively, if you were placed with the family through a nanny or staffing agency, you can always contact the owner or agent that you worked with from the agency. Even if it has been months or even a year after the initial placement, the agent's job is to make sure both the client and nanny are happy, even long after the placement. Sometimes it will result in you having to leave the position regardless of how you approach the subject, but it is important each nanny sticks to what he/she is comfortable with in order to remain happy with being in the nanny/ childcare field.Tinahttp://www.thecrestridgeagency.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-44680973444750567742012-09-13T12:43:49.929-04:002012-09-13T12:43:49.929-04:00Common sense you make a mess with a child, clean i...Common sense you make a mess with a child, clean it up. You feed the kid, clean up the dishes. Kid gets dirty, wash the clothes and the kid. All the extra housework get paid for and make sure you aren't taken advantage of. Leave the house as you found it. Kids get crumbs on the floor, sweep it up. Common sense nannies! But fyi if you graduate from a nanny school then they teach anything childcare related such as meal preparation, laundry for kid, dishes for kid, wiping down toys, and maintaining a kids schedule like going to school on time is part of a nanny job. You could also take on more tasks for the family if the pay is agreed upon like whole family meal preparation, grocery shopping, and other stuff. Do i agree with a nanny doing all the family tasks? No just quoting what I learned. But I do the extra stuff, I like my family and they respect me, and my pay is great. So realize some nannies school preach all the extra stuff but common sense on taking care of the kids and get paid for all the extra stuffNanny graduatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-18423215099761388552012-09-13T08:55:05.931-04:002012-09-13T08:55:05.931-04:00Nope, first time I've used the Moniker Ugh.

All you new nannies out there- you shouldn't work for bosses you don't like either. This is a domestic job, not a corporate hell hole. Your boss is your world. Best like them- third point.. All you parents out there- say thank you- regularly and mean it- my fourth point. No doubt some "extras" will be abundant under these circumstances- fifth point. Last point- bosses be grown ups and communicate your needs directly if your dishwasher is needing attention. The way you ask for something new is crucial to your relationship. If you care about your boss/ nanny relationship - you will most likely find that your nanny will go above and beyond your request- every time.EastBayNannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-12153223562573828032012-09-13T00:33:08.680-04:002012-09-13T00:33:08.680-04:00If the mother of a child is not in a relationship ...If the mother of a child is not in a relationship with her child's father he is a baby daddy.not everyone gets marriednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-47987244823088206622012-09-13T00:32:07.161-04:002012-09-13T00:32:07.161-04:00So now liking your bosses = doing extras?

The last woman I worked for had just broken up with her baby-daddy and he was really putting her through the wringer with custody fights. I really liked her so I helped her out around the house (dishes, laundry, picking up here and there). She worked almost 10 hour days and I'm sure would rather spend time with the baby than clean constantly all weekend. My current situation is working with a WAHM and I still do occasional odd jobs around the house. Not as much because she has that free time WOHMs don't.MissMannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111173519948500730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-7029804723863900632012-09-12T09:55:00.351-04:002012-09-12T09:55:00.351-04:00Want to also say that I relate to my families as m...Want to also say that I relate to my families as my "clients", no my bosses.

Believe what you hear from them. If you hear an open willingness to talk, a give and take in conversation, a level of trust an honesty- they're probably keepers. But it's RARE. When you have it- you are going to move mountains together and raise some awesome kids to boot!EastBayNannynoreply@blogger.com
