One is inconsiderate. The other is just how things go.

The inconvenience goes both ways. The expectations don't always seem to.

Nope, this isn't a “nannies must always give notice” post. It's about the double standard when it comes to who gets to end things without notice.

Nannies, have you ever been made to feel guilty for resigning, even when your family wouldn't have shown you the same consideration?

It's thinking carefully about how to communicate something because you know how easily it could be misunderstood.

It's anticipating how parents might react to feedback, a difficult day, or a decision you made.

It's trying to meet expectations that aren't always clearly expressed.

It's finding the balance between being honest and being tactful, between sharing your professional perspective and making sure it doesn't come across as criticism.

It's knowing that a conversation that feels straightforward to you might carry a lot of emotion for the person on the other side of it.

And sometimes, it's replaying a conversation in your head after work, wondering whether you said too much, too little, or could have phrased something differently.

None of this necessarily means the parents are difficult or have bad intentions. Parenting can be deeply personal, and inviting someone into your home to care for your children requires trust. Misunderstandings and differences in expectations can happen on both sides.

But for nannies, navigating those feelings can become an additional layer of emotional work on top of the job itself.

Because you're not only doing your job. You're also trying to maintain a relationship built on trust, communicate professionally, and make sure everyone is on the same page.

It might not be written in your contract, but the emotional energy it takes to navigate the parents, their expectations, and their reactions is part of the job, too.

Because caring for the children is one thing. Navigating their parents is another kind of emotional work entirely.

What's something parents do, sometimes without realising it, that adds to the emotional load of being a nanny?

The pressure to show up at 100% even when you're running on 2% is something else, isn't it?

Nannies, do you actually feel comfortable calling in sick with your nanny family?

How to follow up after a nanny job application or interview without sounding pushy, rude, impatient, demanding, or desperate?

IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU COMMUNICATE

Following up is a normal part of the job search, and there's nothing wrong with wanting an update!

The key is to express your interest while respecting people's time and the hiring process.

A polite, well-worded message can communicate professionalism, confidence, and genuine interest without putting pressure on the other person.

AFTER SENDING AN APPLICATION

You've applied for a position for which you genuinely meet the requirements, but you haven't heard back.

Give the family or agency reasonable time to review applications. If no timeline was provided, waiting around 5–7 business days before following up is a reasonable guideline.

AFTER AN INTERVIEW

You've met with a family, had an interview, and would love to work with them. It's okay to let them know you're still interested!

If they gave you a timeline, wait until it has passed before asking for an update.

What if they didn't give you a timeline?

Allow a reasonable amount of time for the family to consider their options. Waiting around 3–5 business days after the interview before following up is a reasonable guideline, unless they indicated that their decision would take longer.

YOUR WORDING MATTERS

Sometimes, it's not what you want to know, but how you ask.

Instead of:

❌ "Any update?"

Try:

✓ "Hi [Name]! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up and see if there have been any updates regarding the position. I'm still interested in the opportunity. Thank you!"

Instead of:

❌ "I still haven't received an answer."

Try:

✓ "Hi [Name]! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to check in regarding the nanny position and see if there is any news you'd be able to share. Thank you for your time!"

When following up, take a moment to think about how your message comes across. A short, vague question may not communicate the level of professionalism and genuine interest you want to convey.

Besides, a follow-up should open the door to communication, not make the other person feel guilty for not responding. Avoid accusatory messages or repeated requests for an answer. They can create unnecessary pressure and may hurt your chances of being considered for the position.

WHAT IF THEY STILL DON'T RESPOND?

Give them some time. Families may be busy, interviewing other candidates, or still deciding what works best for their household.

If a reasonable amount of time has passed, you can send one more polite follow-up.

If you still don't receive a response, it's important to recognize that no response can itself be a response. They may have chosen another candidate, changed their plans, or decided not to move forward.

You may not get the closure you hoped for, but repeated messages are unlikely to change the outcome.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER

💌 Keep your message polite and professional.

💌 Be clear about why you're reaching out.

💌 Respect any timeline the family has given you.

💌 Avoid sending multiple messages in a short period.

💌 Don't demand an immediate answer or assume you're entitled to a particular outcome.

💌 Don't apologize excessively for following up. A respectful follow-up is perfectly reasonable!

💌 When working with an agency, remember that positive news is usually communicated as soon as there is something concrete to share. If you haven't received an update, it may mean there is no news yet, or that there isn't positive news to share at this stage. You can check in professionally, but repeated messages won't make a decision happen faster.

Following up is a normal part of the hiring process, and doing so professionally can demonstrate initiative and genuine interest.

However, there is a difference between following up and repeatedly contacting someone for an answer. Too many messages, unnecessary pressure, or attempts to make someone feel guilty for not responding can leave a negative impression and even affect your chances of being considered.

Your goal is to express your interest, not to pressure someone into choosing you.

It's not always easy to accept silence, especially when you're genuinely interested in a position and hoping for a positive outcome. Sometimes, you have to accept that you may not get a clear answer and learn to move forward without one.

Knowing how to handle that uncertainty with patience and professionalism is part of being a strong candidate, too.

Apparently, being a nanny means…

✨ You just play all day.

✨ It's easy money.

✨ Anyone can do it.

✨ You don't need any qualifications or skills.

✨ You're basically a babysitter.

✨ You should also clean the house because you're already there.

✨ You must not have any ambitions beyond childcare.

✨ You only do this because you couldn't find a “real” job.

✨ You should be happy to go above and beyond without extra pay.

✨ You shouldn't expect professional wages because you “just look after kids.”

✨ You don't have a life outside the family you work for.

Meanwhile, being a nanny requires knowledge, responsibility, emotional intelligence, adaptability, professionalism, and a whole lot of patience.

You can love children AND expect fair pay.

You can love your job AND have boundaries.

You can be a nanny AND be highly educated, ambitious, and career-driven.

You can care deeply about a family AND remember that this is your profession.

Nannying is not a lesser profession just because it involves love and care.

What's the most frustrating misconception you've encountered as a nanny?

Things that seem normal in modern parenting until you work in childcare

☆ cameras in practically every room

☆ wanting a screen-free childhood while constantly holding a phone to turn it into content

☆ micromanaging playtime instead of allowing children to play freely

☆ wanting independent children without allowing them to struggle

☆ wanting emotionally resilient children while trying to shield them from every negative emotion

☆ scheduling every minute of the day, then wondering why children struggle to entertain themselves

☆ treating boredom like a problem that needs immediate solving

☆ boundaries that disappear the moment they cause a tantrum

☆ explaining consequences without ever following through

☆ worrying about a child catching something every time they leave the house

Working in childcare gives you a different perspective on some of the things that have become normal in modern parenting.

Of course, every family is different, and most of these things come from a place of wanting the best for their children. But when you work with children every day, some of these contradictions are hard not to notice.

Some things just hit differently when you work in childcare.

Has working with children changed the way you see modern parenting?

Because your hourly rate is only part of the deal.

There are a lot of other things you can negotiate before accepting a nanny job.

☆ Guaranteed hours

Getting paid $X/hour means very little if the family can cancel hours whenever they want.

☆ PTO

Don’t just ask, “How much PTO do I get?”

Ask how it works, when you can use it, and whether it’s clearly guaranteed in your contract.

☆ Paid holidays

Ask which holidays are paid days off.

If you’re expected to work on a holiday, you can negotiate double pay.

Make sure it’s in your contract.

☆ Sick days

You shouldn’t have to choose between staying home when you’re sick and losing a day of pay.

Ask how many paid sick days are included.

☆ Overtime

Your hourly rate isn't the whole compensation package.

Clarify when overtime kicks in and how it’s calculated.

☆ Mileage + driving expenses

If you’re driving the kids around all week, your car is part of the job.

Mileage reimbursement can add up FAST.

☆ Bonus

Annual bonus. Performance bonus. Holiday bonus.

It doesn’t hurt to ask what the family offers and to get it in writing.

☆ Health insurance contribution

Health insurance can be expensive.
You can negotiate a contribution toward your coverage.

☆ Professional development

CPR renewal. Classes. Conferences. Certifications.

If it makes you better at your job, it may be worth negotiating.

☆ Travel + overnight pay

Traveling with the family? Staying overnight?

Those hours and responsibilities should be clearly discussed and compensated.

☆ Annual raises

Don’t wait until you’ve been with the family for years to bring up compensation.

You can negotiate when and how your rate will be reviewed and increased.

☆ And the BIG one: your job description.

Your rate should reflect what you’re actually being asked to do.

Childcare ≠ childcare + house manager + family assistant + dog walker + personal assistant.

Your hourly rate matters.

But it’s not the only thing that determines whether you have a GOOD nanny job.

Negotiate the whole package.

Not every family will offer every one of these.

But knowing what’s on the table gives you more room to negotiate the job that works best for you.

Know your options. Ask the questions. Negotiate from there.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever negotiated into a nanny contract?
