IMHO some people have gone batty

Some of the mad ideas I have read on here in last couple of days

Bonkerz the lot of them

How they treat their nannies or au pairs

They work long hours for not much pay.

There are some very fair parents who are working hard AND treat their au pair with

RESPECT

KINDNESS

But others

who spend all their time finding something to moan about.........

Why can they not treat them the same way they would like their DD to be treated if she wanted to become an au pair?

Would they want their DD to work in same circumstances?

LOOKING AFTER CHILDREN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN THE WORLD

THEY ARE OUR FUTURE

It is also the best job in the world and the most fun,

seeing their faces when they have completed a jigsaw puzzle

learnt how to build a tower with 3 bricks

Please remember to treat others as you would like to be treated

OMG< it really sounds like Greece!

CHECK it out pamina - she was right!

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

'crying for unborn children' ha ha ha ha the lyrics are priceless!

told you ks, they're dirtier

ha ha ha ha at it really being GREECE!

sorry WWW - wasn't trying to catch you out

I know but one can't help thinking of Essex!

altogether now...

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Kanga......I was a nannie for 5yrs. 3yrs before before having my first and I then went back to the same family until having my second. In actual fact I continued during school hols even after having DD2, simply because the children still wanted to come to me and I missed them so much too.

I was very lucky, I had a great family and I did lots for them and they for me. I too am sad to hear of some of the storries on here about how employers find their nannies/au pairs hard, but then I guess that sometimes there really is a personality clash.

Also, I have to say, some of my nannie friends weren't for doing anything other than do the childrens chores where-as I did pretty much anything. But then, they reciprocated and did stuff for me that my friends employers didn't, so I guess it does cut both ways.

I loved working with children and am hoping to be able to again, but I am waiting until my youngest is at school now. Another thought is fostering, but that is a long way in the future yet.

Haven't got a clue what you're all on about - it's obviously some click designed to exclude me
