They had an amicable separation and he lives 3000 miles away. I have a second story I can submit about the problems I have regarding this arrangement, but on this occasion, he was kind and I believe he paid me and handled it because the Mom asked him to. I can see her as someone who doesn't like to admit when she is wrong.OP of Spring Break Postnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-47636727140776083252015-04-05T11:46:04.038-04:002015-04-05T11:46:04.038-04:00I thought you said she was a single mom.

Even then, I always paid for the sitter as well as my son for household needs (embarrassing!), events, lunch, etc. My "employees" never used their own money, ever. This woman is unprofessional and ridiculous. You deserve better. Line up another job before you quit, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-51317462025051201822015-03-30T14:51:49.738-04:002015-03-30T14:51:49.738-04:00Echoing everyone else here.

She needs to pay you back for that; you would have never done any of that with out the kids. Its not like you saw the movie fully; you had to be aware of the kids. Its not like you went out for dinner, you fed the kids with that you feed yourself too.<br /><br />It is standard for nannies to have their way paid to outings. My family pays for my season passes and anything else they want me to do with the kids (lunch, dinner, treat, games, ect). I wouldn't want to take the kids out if I just had to sit and watch them eat a nice lunch (and me a sack lunch)-- plus the kids would think it as strange and really view the nanny as a 2nd class human.Lacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-52698761767905557662015-03-30T12:30:29.124-04:002015-03-30T12:30:29.124-04:00That's terrible!

Some things are cost free, but even museums cost money and of course I paid for her admission. I was also happy that my children were out to lunch every now and then. What kind of backwards people are you working for? As far as I know, it is the standard to provide such things for the nanny and the child. It sounds as if she left with the focus being on her travel and you were left to make things up on the fly. It's too bad she wasn't more specific but she wasn't. I would simply tell her that you expect to be paid but if you don't want her to pay for such things for you in the first, you wont exhaust yourself planning such things!

And, to the extent that she doesn't want you eating out with them, now you know for the future. <br /><br />I wouldn't quit over this but definitely have a discussion with her to clarify what you can and can't spend money on and also not be willing to front the money anymore.Ellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-35069198821434413992015-03-30T10:04:59.432-04:002015-03-30T10:04:59.432-04:00Parents are supposed to pay for their nanny to do ...Parents are supposed to pay for their nanny to do activities. You're working and doing things you wouldn't be doing if you didn't have their kids. She's being completely out of line. I'm not sure I would quit, but I definitely would address it and also state that you will no longer be fronting any money whatsoever for her children. Jmarianoreply@blogger.com
