I applied for a part time job weeks ago. Just her photo alone, I could tell the vibe is what I was looking for. I messaged, we got in contact. She told me she updated her post, and I went to see. And so due to a bunch of different circumstances, her husband and her need extra help. They have no idea what will happen in the future because of their circumstances. So it could be temporary or it could be part time for a couple years.

Her baby is on a feeding tube right because of being sick, her husband family is going through two deaths, and just a lot going on.

We had a phone call this morning. And her husband is quiet lol, but yeah, she sounds great, but so confused (mom brain).

So I asked if they have had a nanny or extra help before and she said no. And it all made sense. 🤣

We didn’t get to finish the call because her baby pulled on the tube and it became a whole thing, which is fine. So we are going to finish the call later today. She said she has no idea what to ask and her husband was a bit stumped as well lol. So I just started talking about my experience and etc.

I just don’t know if it’s bad to show “boss” for the time being. I asked her what type of communication she would prefer (verbal, text, etc) and she said “that’s a good question…I haven’t thought about that…uhm..hm..text would be good…” which is fine lol.

Basically, what I am asking is, for anyone who has potentially worked with first time nanny parents, how the hell do I take initiative and basically be boss? Is that bad?

She said she would love to meet next week, which I am happy and excited to do! This would just be my first opportunity to truly take initiative (and communicate) and tell a set of parents how things work, what would be best, and etc and basically guiding them with having me be their nanny/household support.

I was also thinking of maybe sending her a form (similar to daycares) where she can just take the time the next 7 days to fill out everything. Is that bad?

I have a couple important interviews coming up. I fucking suck at interviews. I freeze, get nervous, etc. I have no idea how to communicate, it’s horrible and I know for a fact it’s why I didn’t go to the second round interview for another job.

Are there any services or recommendations? I’m looking for something free/community based, or cheap.

I unfortunately became very sick last year and had to stop working so I could receive treatment every couple of weeks. Now that I got the all-clear from my doctor, I’ve been looking for a full-time job. I’ve been babysitting for some weeks now for a family to get extra cash.

For personal reasons, I’m looking to move from my place, but no matter where I look — bedroom or full on apartment — everyone is looking for a credit check/employment check/and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel a bit lost.

Has anyone worked with a realtor to find a bedroom? Is that even a thing? I would love to find a full on 2 bedroom place that the landlord could approve me and then I could find a roommate! I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I am using a alt-account, lol.

I'm on OW the past year because of health issues (I have no issue talking about it in private) and am getting about $1450 a month. I have been job searching because I am no longer sick and am able to work again! We all know how the job market is.

I would love to continue living in Queen W/Liberty Village and just finding a two bedroom and then finding a roommate to obviously split rent.

The issue is that not only am I not working right now, but I have HORRIBLE credit. The worst part is that I have been living at my place for 6 years and have NEVER missed a rent payment. So it's not like I would ever miss paying rent, but I know almost all rental units/landlords require it (at least every single rental I have seen online).

For any realtors in the group: I have heard so many times that everyone should just work with a realtor because it's free and they know the in-out, but with all my circumstances, I don't know if it's worth doing that + I feel embarrassed.

I wish to just stay in my current building, but again, don't know if an landlords would work with realtors to do it by bedroom or etc. I have seen that a couple times, but yeah.

I'm just feeling overwhelmed. I am trying to move into a new place in my area by end of August + find a job by July 1st, but yeah, I don't even know anymore. I'm thinking at this point to just get any job (not in my field), just so I can show proof of employment. :/

Edit: No idea why my post is being downvoted when I am asking valid questions. Sigh.
