Thursday

Owned by the Housekeeper

    There is a live in housekeeper. She is like a nazi who keeps watch over me. She watches what I eat, how I treat the children, listens to my calls. She even takes random notes throughout the day. I worked in a house with a housekeeper before and the parent was more involved with me. The parent gets reports on children from the housekeeper, who they played with and more. I suggested in the nicest way that I could leave her, my female employer a daily journal so she knew what the kids were doing and the mom said, "I know what the children are doing". It's Thursday, week two. As of this minute, I don't see myself returning Monday.

I wouldn't stand for it! I work for parents not housekeepers. If MB/DB need a report, the nanny should keep a log. The family is also welcome to use nanny cams, but in no way is it appropriate to be reported on. I would state my dissatisfaction and leave. Good luck, OP.

What they said! What kind of nonsense is this! Do they thrive on drama? Thats the ony way this makes any sense! "Sure. Let's antagonize our nanny ( and give our nosy housekeeper an ego boost). Quit now!!

I highly doubt being babysat yourself by the housekeeper was included in the interview. Total disrespect, which means they'd disrespect you in other ways, too. Get out!

Get your check and get out. Someone else will suffer. Hey, Lesley what about the warning page for potential nanniess you were working on? Did your lawyer veto it? :(
Would have been great!
