Re: Does Having a Manicure Make you a Better Mum?

Ok, I'll weigh in. I've been in childcare for over 13 years and I keep my nails short to avoid jabbing or scratching the children I look after. I don't judge those who don't! I have, however been scratched and jabbed on a number of occasions by the mothers I work for when we are handing children to ...

This is a horrible site. Very few people get into nannying to abuse kids.

Re: Do you provide lunch for your nanny?

Yes, same as others, it is normal for a full time nanny to have 2 meals a day included in her contract, perhaps as there is no real lunch break. I have lunch at work, normally the same thing as the toddler as this encourages the little ones to eat well, try new foods and learn table manners. Plus, t...

Re: Is your nanny who you think she is?

susiep23, I just did the course 4 months ago. I was horrified and argued with the teacher, but she made that good point that you need a catalogue of injuries to bring a case against the abuser, or no change can be made. She said 80-85% (can't remember the exact percentage) of reported cases don't re...

Re: Is ur nanny who u think she is??

Unfortunately abuse is quite common behind closed doors. There have been times that I have cried and cried and cried over what some parents do to their children. Nannies are in a terrible situation when they see this going on. They likely will get fired for talking to the parents about it, and the p...

Re: Finger food recommendations please!

I had a little one like this in my last position. At the time I started the job he had been refusing to eat from a spoon for a month and he was only 12 months old! I read up on it and found that you can feed a child perfectly well in fingerfoods if they will eat them, and that around this age a chil...

Re: BAD hair cut...

Oh no, don't go to the Rush on St John's Road. They burned my hair with bleach (foils) and it has fallen out all along the top. I'm putting off the pixie cut but there is no other option and I was growing my hair long for my wedding. Apparently the hairdresser who did it has been there for years &qu...
