Pros

They are very accommodating/flexible. I had outside-of-work commitments prior to getting hired, and they let me reserve multiple days off, which I highly appreciated.

Cons

I had orientation. That’s it. I have been given literally zero assignments since I got hired a couple months ago, which is really nice in the sense that I’m getting to take care of other life obligations, but very strange in the sense that orientation is the only time I’ve earned money with this company and haven’t actually worked at all.

Fun job, BUT poor communication

Pros

- Fun job! When you are with the right family - You get to work with children of all ages - Hours are pretty good, as you are practically able to make your own schedule. - Perfect for college students! My manager was always willing to work around my busy schedule - Depending on how many kids I got, pay would go up

Cons

- POOR communication between the nannies and the families. For example; I was with a family for about three months, the mother always changed her expectations around on me. At the same time, my manager would call me and tell me the opposite of what the mother wanted. Very poor communication. As well as this, mother NEVER answered her phone, so how do I know how mom is feeling about my nannying if she never talks to me? If you get stuck with a family who doesn't work well with you, it will effect your personal life. Everyone has different experience, but this is my own. Which leads me to by next con... - No work/personal life balance... Although I loved my manager, I received too many calls and emails requesting me to come in, even when I was not available for a particular day. Mom being passive aggressive towards me, calling me after hours and swearing/threatening me over the phone? So disrespectful. And so uncalled for. Yet, management does absolutely nothing about it.
