Please take that title with a grain of salt and know that i’m a newer nanny with no gh so this may be influencing my opinion on this but be flexible! Obviously nothing outrageous but if NF needs you to come in 30 minutes later or 30 minutes early some days (emphasis on some not all!) just do it because in the end they are all so much more willing to be flexible with you! (apologies for the excessive usage of exclamation points I don’t know how to stop now that that’s all I use with NP’s😂)
Just finished making the schedule with my MB for the next couple months and there were a couple days I needed to leave earlier for something (flights, my sorority ((college student here)), etc) and she had no trouble accommodating that schedule for me! This obviously is only applicable to decent bosses but always try and be as flexible as you can be because you may need to ask your bosses to show you the same flexibility one day!
hope everyone’s having a wonderful day as well, and if you aren’t, I hope the drive home from work is lovely!

Eh, give it 6 more years. I’m 12 years in and I’ve learned it really depends on the family. A few years ago I would have agreed with you. I had worked for three families at that point and only one was truly egregious with extra asks, but they were/are egregious. I’ve added part time gigs to my roster over the years and all of them have been extremely respectful of my time. Currently I’m splitting 66 hours a week between two families (one being the previously mentioned family) and the difference in treatment is insane. I didn’t believe it could be different in the ultra-wealthy circles until I experienced it.
