I am a live-in nanny. The parents I work for are going on a trip. The trip was first for seven days only but now it’s ten days. They didn’t ask if more days were fine and just told me randomly. I will be completely solo by myself.

The kid does have summer school 9am - 3 pm. So my schedule on the week days will be 6 am-9:15 am and then 2:45 pm- 8:15pm. (I am allowed to add the drive for pickup/drop off). On the weekends it will be 6 am - 8:15 pm. They are gone from a Monday through the following weeks Wednesday.

I do get General hours, over time, and over night fees. I honestly will be making great money around $1900, and they always give me a bonus when they come back as well (around 200/300$). It’s not expected but it is appreciated.

Has anyone done long solo nannying? I have only done it over weekends. Well once the child’s Godparent came for a week while the parents were gone and we double teamed working with the kid.

Is there any advice for this long solo nannying?

So this happened around 10-12 years ago. I was only about 12/14 years old. (Can’t remember exactly). I remember this dream because it was so vivid and it genuinely shocked me. I remember that I used to see this young girl at my house all the time. I called her Haley and she wore a white night gown type dress. I remember ruffles were at the bottom of the dress and by the collar.
Now I thought I was the only one to see her until my mom made a comment that she saw her too. This is important.

Well one day I got into a really big argument with my younger brother. It was over something completely stupid and immature. I remember while yelling at my brother Haley was standing behind him. When I started to stare at her my brother looked behind himself but saw nothing. We finally hashed things out and we’re back to playing together probably 10 minutes after arguing.

Later that night I went to bed. Everything was completely fine and the rest of the day was good. I suddenly have a dream. I’m walking through our house and I go into my room. At the time I shared a room with my younger brother. When I walked in I saw Haley over my brothers bloodied body. I remember feeling so shocked that I got sick and threw up in the dream. Haley was beating my brother and she smiled up at me like she was waiting for approval. I vividly remember she was holding his severed arm and beating him with it.

I woke up sweating and ran to my mom crying. I explained to her the dream. She put me back to bed and said we’d talk about it in the morning. The next morning came and my brother left for a friend’s house and we sat down and talked about it. My mom was very understanding and tried to explain sometimes feelings can seep into our dreams and alter them.

Two days pass and my brother wakes up from a nightmare and runs to our mom’s room. I stayed in bed and fell back asleep. The next day my brother was going to a friends house again and my mom asked me to come talk. She asked if I told my brother about my dream or if I talked about Haley with him. I told her no I didn’t cause I was protective of my younger brother and didn’t want him to get scared..

My mom turns pale and almost white. She tells me he had the same dream of Haley, but it was reversed and she was beating my body while staring at my brother.

I still saw Haley time to time after this. She never really talked until I asked her why she was there and I remember her talking about a necklace.

Two months later while we were clearing up some of our land we found a necklace with a rose on front. My mom got curious and started researching the land, and we found out a little girl drowned in the creek in our backyard. The little girls name wasn’t identified in the papers, but it mentioned her parents and the father was known for being abusive to his family.
