What is Nannypalooza? Never heard of it.

I've been a nanny for 9 years and never knew about his "holiday" lol.

Lyn said...

I've wanted to go to Nannypolooza for a few years now but I'm scared to go by myself, lol.

This might be a good chance for all you upper class millionaires to start thinking what it is like for us nannies living on minimum wage or less!

MissMannah said...

If you're a nanny working for less than minimum wage, it is time to find a new job. Don't blame your employers because you made a bad choice.

Why not blame the employer? They have no responsibility? Why? Maybe the only job they can get doesn't pay minimum wage. $5 an hour is better than $0 an hour. You do what you have to do to feed your family. Unless you've been there maybe you shouldn't act like you know it all.

I have been there. Thanks for playing.

thanks for the non answer said...

That was an intelligent & thoughtful cop out, I mean response.

just saying said...

So instead of having $0 income, you've accepted a job at less than minimum wage so that you would at least have some money to feed your family.

Then you should be a lot more understanding & less judgmental. Unless, of course you have never been in this situation. Which, judging by your responses is much more believable.

Seriously? said...

Wow guys...way to make a sweet, positive, innocent posting into a negative, confrontational one...seriously?

seriously said...

Thanks for playing.

Wow I would like a gift certificate for a mani/pedi.

Lyn said...

Did any of your employers know about nanny appreciation week? Did they do anyything for you?

A few weeks ago my family gave me a shirt that says "I'm the REAL super nanny!" So I wasn't expecting anything. Especially with the holidays about to start. But Friday morning they gave me a cookie cake that said "thanks for choosing us!", a picture of the kids in a frame they made, and a $200 check! I was so touched.

Excellent question, Lyn...

I would love to hear if any Nannies were recognized this week and received appreciation for their hard work?
