jobs

So I am a nanny and with that job I feel that I become close to the child or children I am watching. I do not understand why, when someone hires you, they do not tell you the whole truth about themselves or even your job.

I am currently working for a family that has just told me that they do not need me help come after the holidays. The reasons that were giving were the following: 1. She wants to spend more time with her son. 2. Her back is not a problem anymore so she can handle more activities. 3. Money. 4. She will just need me as a babysitter is she goes out on the weekends.

I understand that she wants to spend more time with her son. If I had a child of my own I would want to spend all the time in the world with them so this part does not bother me. I only spend 2 days a week with her child and when I do watch him, it is mostly during his nap time, but I still understand her reason.

I understand that I was hired because she had back issues and she could not do a lot of activities, but I do not understand why this needs to be mentioned. I was like hired under the fact that if her back was better I would be laid off.

Do not tell me that you do not have the money to keep me when you go out and buy different things that you do not need everyday. If you shop at a store that is name brand and buy the most expensive thing in that store, I would think you need to stop buying it if you do not have the money. Do not offer me a glass of expensive wine to tell me you do not need me anymore.

When I left her house that day, I was very upset. I have only worked there for maybe a year and have become very close to them. I was upset because I feel that she hire me knowing that I would see be "let go" when she wanted me to be. People say all the time that it is just a job and you can find more of them, but when you are welcomed into someones home and grown with them, to me it becomes more then a job. If you are to hire someone, the way I was, I would like to be told that I am only need until her back gets better, or any of the following. While working there I had the feeling that I might be there for awhile because that is the way this women came across and to me it just hurt.

I was also let go at a very bad time. I know the time is not her fault, but it is a time when no one is hiring because this nations economy is awful and it is holiday season so no one is really looking for someone after Jan. and that is when I need a job. I just don't understand people.

just a thought
