On top of that for the last three monts the relationship with the MB has declined as she has been incredibly stressed with work and a new puppy (which in my opinion they never should have gotten.) so it got to a point where I dreaded coming to work in the morning regardless of my love for my charges.<br /><br />So I decided to give them my 2-week notice.<br />Well I was chewed out. She went off on me that I was leaving them "high and dry." Well crazy thing is, we have a contract that specifies a 2-week notice, not more and not less. So I went with that, naturally. She claimed the contract meant I had to stay with her until school started (this wasn't stated anywhere though. The contract was simply "valid" until school began and then we would draft a new one.)<br /><br />Not sure where in her mind she was thinking that I would want to stay a day longer the way she would treat me!<br /><br />Absolutely horrid woman. I'll miss her children SO much. I'll be starting my new family this coming Monday though and I can not wait!<br />I wish you luck, you'll be fine! Everything always works out in the end somehow :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274425216207837024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-54368778110091861232016-06-17T15:16:19.632-04:002016-06-17T15:16:19.632-04:00I agree with Colleen,if no contract was on place...I agree with Colleen,if no contract was on place you're most likely going to encounter families like this,over and over again! I've been nannying,almost 13 years,every family except for one has tried to get over on pay,one way or another! The contract always saves me because I can bring it up in a matter of fact way,that this is what we agreed on and if it doesn't work for them then I will have to find something else. It always surprises me how families don't realize we have all the same bills,etc that they do! I just laugh it off and say "I'm sorry but I don't want to be homeless anytime soon" They usually feel stupid and then pay whatever they owe .Good luck!mandynannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411909608630620415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-6409490484913834492016-06-06T13:20:04.811-04:002016-06-06T13:20:04.811-04:00I have been in similar situations before.

I just...Unfortunately, some families tend do this. <br />I just experimented last week a case almost like that. I quit my job without notice. Because sometimes is the only way parents will learn something from this kind of situation. <br /><br />Something, I've learned from my mistakes: Always have more than 3 part times jobs, because when you lose you job (full time) or want to quit it, you always have the others part times to save you. And nowadays, parents can not afford anymore for long/short time babysitter/housekeeper in their homes. <br />Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-23444970112915741822016-06-03T23:29:27.816-04:002016-06-03T23:29:27.816-04:00You can give them one last chance- say we talked a...You can give them one last chance- say we talked about this two months ago.
