They are extremely fortunate to have gotten you. It's a huge job so I am praying you are well enough compensated. Also, they need to allow you to get to Mass. This is a perfect type of employment for a Catholic lady! :rahrah: It's so good that they aren't uptight about you bringing your baby along- it's a wise move, because it ensures a higher level of safety and commitment, etc.

Thank you. I have butterflies in my stomach because it will be a huge step to walk away from my main (day) job. I wasn't expecting anything to come up this suddenly, but I just need to have faith that this came about for a reason.

I also feel a bit guilty about quitting my night job, even though I was planning to be done soon for moral reasons. I feel guilty because the other waitress I trade babysitting with is going to have a really hard time finding a replacement that can be there until 3 in the morning. I would keep doing it, but I am not sure she can afford to pay me, as right now we just do an even trade. I know she struggles financially like I do, so I may just volunteer until she figures something out.

I think I would really love being a nanny. I know it will be wonderful to have my daughter with me. Even if we are running around a lot, it is still better than daycare. Apparently they have an SUV for me to take everyone around. Lots of carseats!

I am curious what you mean by allowing me to get to mass. As in daily mass? I have not found a daily TLM within a reasonable driving distance. As far as I know they won't need me on Sundays.

The children go to parochial school (technically the same one I went to, but a new building) and apparently their previous nanny went to the weekly student mass when the parents couldn't make it. I would really like to do that, so I wonder if it would be okay because it would be part of my job.

Once I was a live-in nanny but ended up being a slave. Well, at least I learned what тαℓмυdism is in practice, and ended up getting out.

The other families were absolutely wonderful, loving, but I had to learn from my mistake.

A lot of big wig power-couples live in my area. The wife may be an important somebody, but the dirty little secret is they oppress the women who work in their homes worse than men ever did.

So, it was hard to get to Mass. They were so cheap if I had a baby they would have charged me rent! If I ate anything the kids would tell their dad I was stealing.
