When working as a nanny you often come in very close contact with other nannies. Sometimes friendships develop and that of course is wonderful because in a job that could be very isolated at times it’s good to have friends that understand the dynamics of the nanny profession. Having said all of that, you must […]
I sat amazed in a human trafficking lecture at Rutgers University; although I frequently find myself moved by the plight of marginalized people, I could not fathom what I would learn about a region so very close to my heart, a country in the Caribbean, where my home is.

Some of the pain we experience in the nanny community in my assessment is sometimes self-inflicted. Though I understand that desperation drives individuals to accept any work situation, we must ask ourselves a serious question-where do we draw the line sometimes?
When are some of you going to refuse certain jobs because the terms of the jobs are not realistic? When are some of you going to ensure that you are compensated fairly? When are some of you going to respectfully leave jobs when your basic human dignities are under attack? Then I also need to ask, when are some of you going to reject the false sense of entitlement- that idea that you want more and more without the willingness to give more on your part. We need to ask these questions and each and everyone of us must do some soul searching and then act accordingly.#nannylife
