Fun but stressful work environment
Nanny (Former Employee), Sioux Falls, SD – June 12, 2013
Pros: seeing the children happy and laugh
Cons: was not paid on time
I arrived at home at 7 am I made breakfast for children, washed dressed them. I normally took the children to the park or we did arts and crafts all day. The hardest part of the job was the mother and grandma, because they stayed at home all day, and were very controlling, and very negative towards the children and myself. The most enjoyable part of – more... this job was defiantly the children. I loved seeing them happy, laugh and having fun with myself. We always had a blast everyday. – less

Care.com
Babysitter (Current Employee), Springfield, NJ – May 28, 2013
Pretty easy to find jobs and apply to them/getting connected with the families. Lots of them don't reply, so sometimes it may be frustrating, but when you do it's pretty direct and easy to contact 'em.

I got to work with great families.
NANNY (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – March 26, 2013
I loved this job. I got to work with great families and get the kids into a good rhythm and be that consistency when parents were at work. I learned how to help students with homework in a way where they discover on their own how to solve the problems. I also enjoyed seeing younger kids grow!

New to me
Caregiver (Former Employee), Modesto, CA – February 27, 2013
Pros: great enviorment
Cons: far from my house
I would come in and change my clients diaper and make her coffee and toast. After breakfast I would clean and do laundry. Then at lunch I would make her a meal then give it to her. After lunch I would give her medication and clean up.
I learned how to bathe an adult in a bed.
My boss was nice most of the time.
I enjoyed talking to my client and learning – more... about her past. – less

Productive and easy going flexible hours
Babysitter (Current Employee), Houston,Tx – January 22, 2013
Pros: flexible hours. mon-fri 3-6pm weekends off where i can do my schoolwork and spend with family
Cons: gas money, maintenance on my car and this job is not towards my career as a physical therapy assistant.
A typical day for work, its easy going and very flexible towards my school hours and school work. I learned the way kids act and learning to work with kids of how they way things they want or the way things they cant have all the time. The management towards the family i am babysitting for is very flexible and understanding towards my hours for school – more... and the compensation is very reasonable with the errands i do for the kids as well as they help me with gas money as well. The hardest part is just mainly driving around and making stops, which consumes a lot of gas and the maintenance for my car. As for the enjoyable part of the job, is it keeps me active and productive through my days. – less

watch your back here
previous employee (Former Employee), Waltham, MA – December 31, 2012
Pros: a lot of days off, good work, life balance, benefits
Cons: lies, not what it appeared to be
Started out to be a great place to work. The manager on my team turned out to be a back stabber. For a place that is supposed to have a good culture, turned out to be a nightmare.

Great for a single girl, no family, looking for something adventurous and new.
Full/part time nanny and caregiver (Former Employee), Fort Myers, FL – October 2, 2012
Pros: good pay, learn to love for a child, free food sometimes
Cons: lack of social life, difficult parents, nap times
A typical day at work is getting up with the kids, preparing meals, making sure they are entertained. That sounds simple but with two kids under two, its easier said than done. This job was fun and adventurous however not relible, you should definately keep a plan b in case things do not work out. Unlike a coorperate ran business a family doesn't require – more... a two week notice before they let you go. However I learned alot while working with kids patients is key and as for the parents, others are more pleasurable to work with than others. I wouldnt suggest this for someone who expects time off alot and alot of social time. This is more for the single, recent college graduate looking to simply "Find themself." – less
