I had to get a nursery job as there are very few nanny roles around at the moment. It has been pure hell if I am honest.
We are never fully staffed. Agency in everyday. Some good, others not and even if they are good, they don't know the kids which obviously impacts negatively.
A few SEN kids who don't have 1/1 as the funding isn't there and nobody wants the job.
Endless cleaning.
Staff all bickering as stressed to the hilt.
Management always nit picking
Very long hours, often 8/6. I am exhausted and regularly feel sick with tiredness and the physical demands. I do have an autoimmune disease and am 39, but it isn't that. I still feel I would be the same in my twenties and no illness.
This morning one of the sen kids kept running out of the room, continuously. All I have done is run to get him. Soothe screaming children. Clean and I still have a good few hours left.
Aibu to say I can't cope?
