I’m pissed with my (former) nanny

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Our nanny took a day off last Saturday. We even took her to the station where she can get a ride going to Baclaran. She was excited and happy as she will meet her boyfriend on her way to Baclaran. She asked me if she can get her salary for Oct 15 since she needs to pay somebody when she goes home. I already have a feeling that she is up to something (I don’t know why) but I still gave her an advance of her salary.

The rule in our house for our nanny is she can take a day off once a month and then she has to come back the next day after lunch. It was already 4 PM when I woke up from my nap Sunday and the nanny is still not home. I wanted to call her to ask her what time she will arrive but the hubby said that I should not worry and let our nanny enjoy her day off. 9 PM and still no nanny so I tried to contact her cell phone but it is off.

The next morning I received a text message from her (using a different number) that she needs to deal on some problems and she can’t come back to us. Her things are still with us so I’m suspecting that she eloped with her boyfriend.

I’m really pissed. Some people can really be irresponsible with their obligations and I hate it when I have to rely on irresponsible people like her. We have been very good to her and we know that we treated her well but in spite of that, she still managed to do that to us. I even told her that I won’t be deducting the P600 that she owes the agency since I pity her since she always have no money since she owes a lot of people so her last salary all just went to paying her outstanding debts.

I already called the agency and they got surprised too with what happened. But when I’m asking them for a replacement, they said that they have no available nanny at the moment. Good thing my mom is always there to rescue us in times like this but she is not feeling well too as she always have high blood pressure. My friend also promised to give me a nanny who will arrive this Thursday. Hopefully everything will turn out fine in the end.

I can relate to your situation. It's so hard nowadays to find a reliable and responsible nanny. If you're kind with them, they abuse you.

Your nanny is still enjoying her boyfriend's company and will think of going back to you when she run out of money.
