If you are a nanny employer and would like to join a closed group just for nanny/aupair employers...

[AtheneNoctua]

Send a CAT to virginiawolfisnotdead. She has started a yahoo group and I'm sure it will be very helpful to many of us. I know there are loads of us on here. I hope everyone finds there way to the yahoo group...

See you there...

Oh, and I've started a topin on the yahoo group about a meet-up. So everyone come say when and where and we'll have a good time I'm sure.

I've signed up, and I think I've replied, although the message doesn't seem to have "gone through". will wait and see (complete technophobe, me)

bump

I tried, but it didn't go through. Not sure if CATing is case sensitive, but when I tried VirginiaWoolfisNotDead it worked.

Not case sensitive, I can see now I've got an extra 'o' in my Woolf

why do you want a closed group?

Because sometimes you just want employer perspective, and sometimes nanny's friend comes on to publicise the whole thing and turn it into a really awkward situation... when employer was just genuinely seeking some much needed advice/support.

ah right. Think I must have missed something. Think it's a shame to take stuff off board though tbh.

On a completely unrelated subject, there's a SW London meet-up brewing. Fanciy joining us at Brula in Twickers? Would be lovely to meet you.

Dont know where the other thread has gone . (Hmmmm) but what if you cant cat re VirginaWolfisNotDead

CAT me and I'll send it to her if you have problems.

Fox, in cas you are interested, meet-up thread here.

No what I meant is what if you cant send cats . LOL

thanks (thought that must be you with a new name!). Fridays are bad for me but I'll wait till you have a date and then see what I can do. (didn't realise there had been another thread...makes sense now)

Pst I still want to join LOL

Pay up, woman. Support out beloved mumsnet.

Read my other thread and that will answer question . lol

link please?

Briefly big big money worries getting housing benefit ,leaving Dh to get the house repossed. As you can tell I am skint . LOL

I used to be a nanny, am not a nanny employer.

Just wanted to say good luck with your group and, as nannynick pointed out on an earlier thread, I also hope you keep posting on mn. Even though I v rarely work as a nanny now, it's always interesting to see the employers' pov. I can absolutely see why you would have an off board group though. Huge shame about the stalking nanny friends, and stalking nannies. Professional embarrassment that.

If anyone wants my twopennuth, my email is wtrolley at gmail dot com. I am not in the habit of passing info on to lunatics anyone but might have some insight. Dont' want to crash the group though. Good luck.

Would someone point me in the direction of how to find out how to CAT?

it's "contact a mumsnetter" in the blue bar at the top of the page. But, this group is no more.

Also, I noticed you are not accepting CATs. So, just so you know, noone can CAT you.
