such a hectic day

It's really a frantic situation you have there , jazel. I have been to a lot of situations like that myself, when our daughter was only a kid. When the nanny didn't come back from her day off on the right time, i would also be frantic because husband and i have our jobs to attend to. Luckily though, my retired father-in-law would be requested to look after her, with all the necessary paraphernalia, like the milk etc. are all there prepared. However, i am not very confident about the situation, because my father because of a stroke doesn't have a normal reflex anymore. Though, he can still do things but in a very slow manner. Good thing, our house is just walking distance from the bank where i work before, so that on lunch time, i would be coming home and so with my husband. That's where our resourcefulness and patience comes in, as working mothers, jazel!

This the dilemma every working mom go through. It is very hard to find a trustworthy nanny that's why I am always afraid to lose my son's nanny who is really kind and of great help to us. But I know since she just do it because she's waiting for something and another favor for his sister who is my mother-in-law's sister-in-law, she will also leave us. I am just glad that in two or less month, my mother will arrive. When my mother stay with us, I can get a nanny even we don't her that much because there's person who will look over to her and my son. I hope you can find a nanny soon.

I have learned that hectic days are a part of life and be glad we have them. Some people's life only includes only begging for money and nothing more and they would love to have the hectic day we have It would give them something to do. We often dont realize the good things we have.

Well, I understand your fatigue, and I understand that you had a very busy day. I can not tell you what level of trust you have with your nanny, however I would give her a chance to fire first. Or rather, you and her need to sit at a table to discuss and reach an agreement. If she has more time to cover your needs all is ok, so instead if not, then you should consider an alternative solution. I is not that I want to take the parts of the babysitter, however, try to understand that a person without a job, nowadays, still a pain. This is my personal opinion.

I admire people who juggled so much of their time in work and in taking care of their family. Time management is really to be observe in order to finish all those tons of workload. I believe you can make it.Having someone to help you is a nice idea, it lightens things and you can allocate more time to work and to other things. Goodluck and thank you.

I hope you find good consistent help for your situation. This sounds like it is very stressful and not good for you health wise. At least you could find someone on short term to watch him today but maybe you'll need someone again. I hope you can find someone quickly. It is a shame your cousin was not able to meet your schedule.

It's been our problems too last week with Ann's son (my grandson). I'm so far with them but I have their problems too how to took care of our baby. Luckily I found one in the province, but she told me last night that the nanny have to go home for emergency. I just hope she will come back.

hi jazel__juan my this was a hectic day for you and it seems when one little thing goes wrong it triggers other things.It is too bad your cousin could not come at six as nine oclock sounds like it wouldn't help you at all. I am glad that one of your mom's househelp decided to help you out and that he is one trusted by your mom, I do wish you could find a good nanny that would do her work well sO you would have a few less worries. good luck and God bless.

Hello there Jazel. I think you are really in need of a nanny that would take care of your son especially when you and your husband would need to do some things outside for your jobs. I hope you could find one soon so you would really be worry-free while you're not in your home. I know just how you feel because sometimes, my sister and brother-in-law would need to go somewhere on the weekends and they are worried about their sons. They have their nanny but sometimes, she also has her day off during the weekend. Sometimes, they would call me and I would immediately come especially when I'm really free. My nephews are still a bit young and I don't want them to be hungry when nobody could cook for them. I also want to make sure that they would be safe because many people pass by their home. Some people might knock on their gates and they might open it for them. I just want to protect them from possible dangers. I hope your cousin was able to arrive in your home already so your son really has his companion. It was good your mother's guy househelp was there to look after your son while waiting for your cousin to come. I hope you could find a kind, caring, responsible, and trustworthy nanny for your son soon so you would feel a lot better when you would have more hectic days in the future. Anyway, have a nice day and just relax so you could enjoy your seminar. Happy myLotting. :)

Uh oh...I know how it feels. Goodness, I am sure you're not at peace my dear Again...I would like to present my CV for that nanny position
