Being a nanny can be a rewarding job, but as with any job, there are always some wild offers that come your way. This nanny in particular has had her fair share of crazy job offers she's received from parents, and they are sure to leave you scratching your head. One offer she received was from a family who wanted her to work 60 hours a week for $30k/year, and another family that tried to lower her rate from $22/hour to $4.50/hour. And the best one yet: a family offered to pay her...

“Sorry honey. You don't get to fire someone during one of the most traumatic moments of their lives and expect them to stay friends with you. Nor will I come running back when you realize you now have no childcare.”

It's understandable to be upset about being told how to take care of your own children, but if you're not spending the time with them to develop the best processes and are paying someone to do so—you'd better put your ego aside, let them do their job, and listen to them.

This means that you have to deal with the often inaccurate perceptions of other adults, who hold tight to their wildly inaccurate beliefs, with these same adults also holding the final say over what goes with their children, no matter how damaging their decision might be. When working as a nanny, these problems intensify. Long and of…

There's nothing like changing someone's mind by proving them wholly and completely to be out of touch. Being able to smack them over the head with an indisputable “I told you so.” works more wonders than any amount of arguing ever could have.

A single mother posted this message to a Facebook group, requesting a childcare provider capable and willing to work for less than $3 an hour. The concerning thing here is that the poster is quick to share all of the problems that they are currently dealing with as justification for paying such a miserably low rate.
