Just a reminder to nannies out there. You have no power. Anything you do can be twisted and you will have no rights. My boss gave me every indication that I was to be hired and that I would be working through the summer. Look what I got on Friday, just in time to ruin my weekend. I busied myself this morning so my head was in the dryer when she left, but I don't even want to see her. I'm afraid to call the agency because they are going to be angry at me too because they won't be getting paid a placement fee. But this is crap, what she mentions here, total exaggerations.
Below is the CUT and PASTE version of the email:
Your thirty day trial ends on Wednesday.As you know, we had planned to sit down with you to discuss the past few weeks Monday at 7PM. After much thought, I wanted to give you advance notice that I do have some concerns. I appreciate so much of what you have done, but the trial period is a tool specifically to flush out instances where we may not see eye to eye.
I would still like to meet with you this evening, but I don't wish to ambush you. I do have several concerns. These concerns, if not sufficiently and satisfactorily explained leave me inclined not to hire you on a permanent basis.
These are the situations of which I speak.
-Cake making 2-3 times per week is excessive. I also recently learned that you take one tray home with you when you make a cake. Since I didn't know about it, it seems like this was done covertly and I have an issue with that.
-Missing postage stamps
-X's strep throat medication. On 6/2, you gave X her last dose of antibiotics. And then in front of both children, you drank the rest of the medication and said, "so I don't get sick". I understand that may have been a flippant comment but I feel that was demonstrative of a poor role model.
-When you did not leave the receipt for Thursday's (6/11) groceries again, I was able to get a print out from the store. This was complicated and exhaustive, but I just wanted to be sure everything was on the up on up. As you kn ow, when you grocered on 6/5, you mentioned that the receipt is in one of the bags. At that time, I suggested that you keep the receipt with the credit card and on your person. Nevertheless, on the grocery bill, I have found some items that I don't see having ended up in our home and would like clarification on the whereabouts of:

- 1 lb Twizzlers
- 1 package Daisy brand disposable women's razors
- 4 pack of Sugar Free Monster Drink
- 1 cheesecake, 12 serving mixed sampler
- 1 Colgate Spin Brush
-Computer Usage. While I have no issue with you using the computer, the children use it mostly for homework. Not only did you use it for what I would deem inappropriate activities, but you left the children exposed to some of the materials you accessed by not clearing your search history. Examples of the websites visited/searches during work hours:
- Bulbous penises
- Penis with big mushroom
- Thickest Penis
- High Times/ Buy Marijuana Online
- How to Vomit
- Laxatives and Pedialyte diet
I am sharing a copy of this with xxxx at the agency, along with a summary of some of the more positive things we have experienced. If you would still like to meet, please let me know by text before 2 PM.
Warmly,
