Re: Appropriate present for cleaner

I do not agree with you MgMidget by saying that a week or two is quite generous. If she pays her 30 pounds a week, then as a x mas gift for a week of pay, it would be 60 pounds for the cleaner.
I would want to keep my cleaner happy, a week of salary seems right at the moment. That's what I think.

Hi !
Why not giving them to a hospital ? You get rid of your toys and you make some children happy.

Well done on doing this, I agree that all the parents should know that. But, everytime, there is a post like this, it's like a fight between nannies and mums ... No nanny is perfect but trust me, how many times I have helped kids trapped, stuck in a playground or in a playgroup because their mums we...

When I arrived as a live in nanny, the mum prepared my bedroom ... Flowers, new bed sheets, towels and a lovely bathroom set ... I think, gestures like this just make anyone happy !

Re: what to do when you find out your boss is having an affair

Hi !

Unfortunately, you can't do/say anything as it has nothing to do with you !
I agree with the previous nanny, it has to be a horrible situation and I have no idea of what I would do ... Keep doing your job as normal !
