Her expertise with chapters titled "Who's the boss?" and "Discipline is not a four letter word" gives confidence to parents who need specific ideas for real day-to-day problems.

I worked 24 hours a weeks
How much charge each girls ? How much suppose I get a pay for 24 hours ?
Sinecerely, Teresa
you can visit nanny.org for a 2010 Nanny Salary and Benefits Survey. 24 hours a week long term is not acceptable- its too much. You should be getting paid per hour, min wage at least and live in for every hour worked and live out for time and a half for anything over 40 hours worked in a 7 day period. Pay is dependent on many things including experience, education, location, etc.
let them wrestle and just make sure they aren't near any breakable items. I personally think the mother should respect that I am trying to
keep her kids safe by not letting them wrestle. It is just not my style to let them go at it. Should I listen to the mother and let the kids go at it, or continue to control the situation regardless of her instructions.
Thanks!
Thanks for commenting and for your questions!
@Patricia- I would strongly advise you to attend a new baby care class or read up on infant care and safety. You'll want to be familiar with proper development and safety standards. The What to Expect Series may be a good start as well as the International Nanny Association's Beyond Parenting Basics is also a good resource
@Susan. If you are afraid you are going to lose control you need to seek help immediately. Call your local parenting hotline 1-800-448-3000 or call your child's pediatrian or a friend for a break. This is NORMAL behavior. Children save up their most intense emotions for their parents because that is who they feel most safe and secure around. They are in school all day and have to emotionally hold it together and their emotions spill out when they are home. Have a consistent routine, give her choices you can live with and do what you can the night before to make mornings less stressful.
@ Celia - Been there done that!!!! I went through this exact situation before. Some parents have different levels of comfort when it comes to wrestling and sibling love. I'd simply say while you are working, you want to keep the kids safe and have set and clear boundaries. The kids can wrestle on her duty, but on your duty it makes you feel uncomfortable.. she should respect that its your job to keep them safe and I would stress that to her
