the next poll should be how many nannies sleep with their bosses
Would you hire a manny, or be ok with a male childcare worker at your kids daycare?
Haha, MS, I was gonna say that, too!
MonkeyShines, I think that would be a great idea the problem is that so many nannies on this board lie like rugs about how wonderful their employers are and about how wonderful they themselves are. I doubt you would get one honest answer.
I have to agree with booo on this one.
You aren't clever, monkey shines. Or funny. We got the memo that you sleep with married men. You make GOOD nannies look bad. Fortunately, we aren't all like you.
I'm curious about how many nannies are provided food while at work, and how many bring their meals. I'm a live-out looking for work right now, and it seems like about 50-50 where I'm at.
And also, for live-outs, how far do you travel to work each day?
I like Rte 66 questions.
Though admitedly the part of me that cannot turn away and not watch trainwrecks happening. Would be interested to see a poll based on monkeyshines question.
I have never made a pass at my boss, it was always the dad who started it and sometimes it is easier to just give in, some of the dads are very handsome, the moms are very ordinary looking and men are very visual and always want something new
I agree with rte66nanny! I have worked for families that expected me to bring my own food and I always thought that wasn't right. I would be very interested to see what other nannies do!
so vote. its in the sidebar.

Girl, where is your dignity! lol
I've had many dads hit on me, too - but only once I gave in. I know I'm partly to blame but he took full advantage. His wife was away on a business trip and I'd had dental surgery that morning. Being that I was in so much pain I took a couple of the pain pills the doctor gave me after I put the kid to bed. I sat down to watch some t.v. before going to bed myself and the dad came in and parked it next to me. Not too unusual but I guess he realized how loopy I was and started touching me. I was high, it felt good, so I slept with him.
The next day I felt so awkward I quit. Which sucked because it was a good job, too. Asshole.
Most NYC dads work such long hours you never see them. I think it is more an LA thing. Actors have a lot of down time between jobs. :*)
I've never had a dad hit on me but then again I put out the don't fuck with me vibe to all men besides my boyfriend. You have to be open for that kind of attention, you need to seek it or accept it when it's given, which is why some women are put in that situation.
Some don't even realize they are doing it.
I would like to see a poll about what benefits are provided and one about how many people actually have contracts
Oh, Boston, I totally agree about those polling topics. Also, I'd like to see simultaneous polls for the employers who read ISYN, on similar topics so we can see the same issues from their perspective as well. For instance: "Nannies, what benefits do you receive? Employers, what benefits do you offer?"
