NannyCast 39: The Ethics of Nannying Through a Crisis Pandemic // download episode // subscribe to NannyCast // Some of you have seen the post floating around from the Georgetown ethicist writing an advice column about what to do for COVID-19. A lot of you wish it were better fleshed out or addressed the full range of situations that are being faced in the nanny industry. As happens, I know a professional ethicist who happens to have experience with having employed a nanny, so it isn’t hypothetical to her. She is, quite conveniently, my mother. And in light of the “hurry, hurry, we need answers now” of the situation, I got her to chat with me on the phone - social distancing and all that - and recorded it.Additional Show Notes:Call for questions for this episode.Episode 10Ask the Coronavirus Ethicist (Georgetown Ethicist)National Domestic Workers Alliance Care FundEpisode 37

CoronavirusesDaily Structure for Trying TimesNannyCast 21: Working While SickNewborn Care Solutions // Announcement of Professional Development SeriesinterNational Nanny Training Day 2020 UpdateTranscript after the break.[This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 01]We live in unprecedented times. While we here at NannyCast strive to make evergreen podcasts that will be useful for now and forever, we are going to interrupt our regular pattern by making a special SARS-2/COVID-19 podcast. Because we have a lot of nannying issues related to this outbreak.[This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 02]Will this ever be useful again? We hope not. Or at least not for at least another hundred years. I’m looking at you Spanish Flu of 1918 and your hundred years ago-ness.So before you write to thenannies@nannycast.com with your complaints that this information is out of date because you are listening to it in 2025 and we recorded it in 2020, just know that we know it will be and we are glad you are listening to our backlog of episodes.Let’s begin with some virology and epidemiological basics. First of all: What is coronavirus? What is the 2019 novel Coronavirus which has recently been named SARS 2? What is COVID 19? How do we keep all these words straight?To answer these and other questions, we have the following guest podcasts popping in with what they know. As always, links to each of their entire episodes will be available in our show notes for this episode over at NannyCast.com. Let’s let them introduce themselves.[This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 03]The Erins behind This Podcast Will Kill You are disease ecologists and one is even an epidemiologist.[This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 04]Still they are radical experts with expert sauce on top and more than qualified to talk about all these terms and give us some general background information. But also we have[Ologies Clip 01][This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 05]Now, since they recorded that podcast, the 2019 novel coronavirus strain has been named.[Ologies Clip 02][This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 06]COVID-19 is what happens when you actually get sick with SARS-2. As in have symptoms and that lung infection they mentioned. It is the disease. You can be infected with SARS-2, bopping around your daily life, virally shedding, and never have a fever, no cough, no nothing. That’s called being asymptomatic. [This Podcast Will Kill You Clip 07]And because [Ologies Clip 03]spreading SARS-2 to all the good little boys and girls without even having a sniffle. This is why you wash your hands even though you don’t feel sick. This is why you cover your sneeze even though you are sure the sneeze came from a charge blowing pepper up your nose. This is why you wave at Grandma instead of picking her nose for her. Because you could be transmitting and have no earthly idea. Sharing is caring, but sharing SARS-2 is NOT caring.[Ologies Clip 04]Why are we at home? Why are the kids at home? Why are the bosses at home? Why is the house so crowded that it is maddening? Why are the parks and playgrounds and libraries closed?[Ologies Clip 05]The short answer is because sharing isn’t caring. And you know what keeps people from sharing? Being caged. Caged in their homes. Now, while there are selfish idiots who know they have COVID-19, are symptomatic with it, and still decided to leave their houses and go to restaurants or concerts or the grocery store where they grossly coughed and sneezed all over the loose broccoli in the produce section, there are far more asymptomatic carriers who are going out in public and touching door handles or counter tops or ring-for-service bells. And they wouldn’t be staying home if only sick people had to stay home. So now EVERYONE has to stay home.And if it looks to you like there was no point in staying home because everyone seemed generally healthy, and I’m going to try to speak this in all capsTHAT IS WHAT A SUCCESSFUL MITIGATION STRATEGY LOOKS LIKE. This is success. It means that the disease isn’t run away. People aren’t that sick because the steps to prevent them from being that sick worked.So what to do? Pray for sanity.In addition, a good jumping off point for being stuck home with a school aged child whose schools have switched to a distance learning curriculum can be found in our show notes. Modify it as necessary, but it should keep the kiddos academics relatively on track.Depending on where you are in the world, your health authorities have made decisions about how they are going to respond to the pandemic based on available medical resources. In some areas of the world, there are attempts to isolate SARS-2 into nonexistence. In other areas of the world, the attempts are to get everyone sick as quickly as possible so that everyone can get better as quickly as possible because there are ample medical resources available to deal with anyone needing advanced medical care as a result of their illness. Where I am in the United States, the health authorities are using a strategy they are calling “flatten the curve” which aims to stagger the individuals needing medical resources so that the finite number of hospital beds and ventilators can be used to serve the most people.What this means is that most health authorities expect us all to contract SARS-2 and to have our immune systems fight it off and let that be that. Which means, nannies, that if the health authorities are planning for us to be sick, we need to plan for us to be sick. Now is the time to talk to our bosses about Paid Time Off or Paid Sick Leave. Because if the World Health Organization is figuring we are going to be sick, we are going to be sick, but we don’t have to be sick without pay. Also, for most of us nannies who work with the germ goblins that children are on a regular basis, us being sick shouldn’t be too inconvenient. Still, a sick day would be nice here or there.In Episode 21 where we discussed being ill, we said[Episode 21 clip]however in light of the fact that we’re going to be getting sick at a time when people might catch it from us and then die due to being one more ventilator needer than we have available, we are saying that the industry standard of working while sick is out the window and a self-imposed quarantine is the way to go. And make it, wherever possible, a PAID self-imposed quarantine. And as always, you can listen to the entirety of episode 21 by clicking on the episodes tab over at NannyCast.com.Now more nanny stuff. Some nannies are finding themselves surprise-fired by parents who are suddenly stuck at home so are trying to save a penny or two. This may be an outcome coming for you. So there is no time like the present to discuss the financial picture of your work family with them. Get their reassurances that your job is still fine, but then also brush up your severance clause of your contract to your satisfaction, or put a contract in place so that you can have a severance clause so you can be protected. Because some of the nannies who were surprise-fired had been reassured that their jobs weren’t in trouble, until … surprise! So believe the best, but plan for the worst.Also, now is the time to locate your local placement agency that places temporary or fill in care. Those agencies are being overwhelmed with requests for temporary and fill in care as daycares and schools are closing but the parents are still essential healthcare employees who have to physically and bodily show up to work. If you are surprise-fired, you should be able to easily, so long as you’ve already done the research to find out the agency and have gone through their background check procedure, easily slip in to good paying temporary work while you figure out your next permanent placement situation. No one needs to be financially disabled by the SARS-2 outbreak.In addition, Tonya S of Newborn Care Solutions is hosting a free series of 30 minute online webinars to give you extra skills to make you extra re-hireable. Even if you aren’t ever surprise fired, free is a good price to build your resume. And besides, what else were you going to do when everything else is closed?And one final note, Sue Downey, the woman who allows local organizers to be local organizers of interNational Nanny Training Day has said[Sue Clip]so do as she says and check in with your local interNational Nanny Training Day to see what’s up about that.And with that, we’ll return you to your regularly scheduled evergreen NannyCast episodes in the future. Nanny Jen out!

NannyCast 37: Get Sent to a Nanny Conference // download episode // subscribe to NannyCast // This episode is all about how to get your employers to pay your tuition to a nanny conference or class, even if, and especially if, you didn’t negotiate professional development into your compensation package when you were hired. We cover step by step why you would want to go and how to structure the conversation with your employers. And even how to tell if they’ve said, “Please, keep convincing me!” without using those words. Because they never use those words.Additional Show Notes:NannyCast 24: Nannypalooza 2012 Career Talk Podcast: Professional Development NannyCast 11: Let’s Talk About Money, Our Take The Practically Perfect Podcast Swept Together: Episode 47 | All About The Ask The Atlantic | Askers vs Guessers Door Closing Audio Transcript after the break.I’m Nanny Jen, and today we are talking about how to add a professional development budget to your compensation package, after you’ve already started the job. This episode was inspired by the upcoming annual interNational Nanny Training Day event where a multitude of same-day, single-day, local professional development opportunities will be simultaneously attended by nannies around the globe, but is by no means limited to just NNTD. This can also be used for larger, longer nanny conferences such as the International Nanny Association’s conference or NannyPalooza. As a quick aside, NannyPalooza got featured in its own episode, Episode 24, which can be accessed by going to nannycast dot com and clicking on the “episodes” tab in the navigation bar. It will also be linked in this episode’s show notes.Now, in order to be a fully comprehensive podcast episode, and to mirror the pitch you would make to your employers, we are going to start with WHY you would want to engage in ongoing professional development. And to help make that pitch is [Stephanie Dennis host intro]She runs a podcast called The Career Talk Podcast whose full episode on the topic of professional development is linked in the show notes. [career talk clip]That last take home was short, sweet, and to the point. It benefits employees and employers. Which leads us in to our next portion: How to have the conversation with your employer. Like we started here, you start with how this will benefit them. And let me repeat that for clarity. THEM. How this will benefit THEM. Go in to this with the understanding that people are inherently selfish so they want to hear about how spending the money to send you to professional development will benefit them.And Steph gave us a good list of five ways which essentially boil down to that you’ll be better at your job which directly benefits them as the people who receive the results of your labor. AND, and how they react to this point is telling of your job overall, it increases employee retention. Meaning you stay working for people who invest in you. In fact, when we called for your nanny confessions as part of our book giveaway contest, we got an excellent confession that discussed National Nanny Training Day admission fee. To protect the anonymity of the confessor, we’ve stripped away the identifying details and substituted a voice actor, but you can still hear her upset which the voice actor faithfully duplicated from the original audio clip we received.[family never paid]It isn’t hypothetical that we nannies will leave jobs over professional development being unsupported, here is one concrete example being bold enough to state it for the record. And by the way, as an aside, if you ever want to contribute thoughts to NannyCast and don’t want your name or your voice used, we have a wide variety of ways to protect you as we protected this nanny. Please do not hesitate to visit nannycast dot com and click on the “share with us” tab in the navigation bar.If you need to when discussing a budget for professional development with your employer, feel free to point them to this episode of NannyCast. It is episode thirty-seven. Perhaps they need to hear that it is more than just your opinion?But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s back up. Let’s talk about the ask. If you haven’t listened to NannyCast episode 11 called “Let’s Talk About Money”, go give that a listen. It covers all sorts of awkward money conversations from the initial setting up of your compensation package to raises, and adding a professional development budget mid-work certainly does qualify as a kind of raise. It is a good learn-it-today-use-it-tomorrow kind of professional development offered by the duo behind the Practically Perfect Podcast. (wistful) I do wish they’d release the whole of the audio from that webinar as one of their podcast episodes since it is otherwise lost to the universe.That said, it is very important to start with the realization that there are two approaches to making requests, which a periodical called the Atlantic summarized as Askers vs Guessers. Neither approach is wrong, but when an asker meets a guesser there can be some unintended fallout. And to address all of this, we are going to bring in a podcast that is the reality-tv of the podcasting world called Swept Together. As always, a link to their full episode can be found in the show notes.[Swept Together Clip 1]So the question is to you: Are you an asker or a guesser?[Swept Together Clip 2]Now if you are a pure asker, you are already finished with this podcast episode and asking your employer for professional development funds for the specific professional development opportunity you had in mind. And if you aren’t doing that, you should be. Bye pure askers, we’ll see you next episode.[door close sound]Okay, so all that we are left with is impure askers and guessers. And what I mean by this is that we are left with people who are aware of the dynamic imbalance between an employer and an employee and that in the specific world of nannying, an employer might be upset having to consider a surprise request by an employee for, say, professional development funds. This is where feelers come in.[Swept Together Clip 3]Now, obviously we aren’t trying to be romantically involved with our employers, but we can still use a version of this to our advantage. Surely you have a professional connection, fellow friend nanny, or can invent a fake nanny friend who is attending the professional development opportunity you are referring to. And surely this nanny you’ve invented has her employers covering their tuition. And surely you can mention this to your employers to gauge their reaction to it and hope that the idea percolates in their mind so that a week later the employers take the initiative of offering you the tuition money without realizing you’d sprinkled some idea seeds into their ears. Is this lying? Well, that entirely depends on how much you feel like the nannies you know through the internet are real or not, because in the major nanny collaboration networks, there is always at least one person who is going to the thing and whose employers are paying to send them there. So I’d say not a lie, because I find those nannies to be very real.But what if you are trying to navigate this difficult intersection of asker vs guesser and employer vs employee with someone who is tone deaf to the fact that they are an employer with the economic power as well as an asker who is somewhat unaware of emotional subtitles involved in requests?[Swept Together Clip 4]So if you know your boss is the oblivious one, you simply follow up and say, “Have you given any thought to whether or not it is within your budget to send me to Professional Development Opportunity I Mentioned Before?” You still aren’t asking to go, you are asking them to invite you to go. Very indirect, and not my usual style, but it isn’t a wrong style to have. My father used to say, “Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to,” and when it comes to an employee making a compensation request, I’d say it helps to be fairly certain of the answer before asking the direct ask.But what if your bosses are guessers themselves? And as an imperfect asker or a guesser yourself, you don’t want them to feel compelled to give you a thumbs up if that isn’t what is truly in their heart.[Swept Together Clip 5]And there it is folks! Know your boss’s request style. Know this about one another. At a time where nothing is on the line, if you don’t already know, figure out how each of you handle requests in the context of an employer/employee relationship. Like, now? Now is a good time. There isn’t anything pressing right now, right? So it would just be a fun little anecdote to pull up the article from The Atlantic and ask them which they are as concerns you. It will also help you to know whether when they ask you to do a favor outside of your normal nanny duties, is this something you can reject without consequence or is this an incognito order.[Swept Together Clip 6]A guesser requesting professional development tuition of another guesser can always help the employer guesser realize how this is a win-win by listing some of those employer benefits from The Career Talk Podcast, providing a link to this podcast, or contacting their professional development opportunity’s organizer for any resources, handouts, or flyers they might have that makes the sell directly to employers. I’ve yet to see a nanny professional development opportunity where those resources weren’t available, but I’ve seen PLENTY of nanny professional development opportunities where those resources weren’t publicized.Now let’s talk about what isn’t a no. Unlike a lot of other situations where anything but a yes is a no, when it comes to making a request of an employer for professional development funds, a yes is a yes, a no is a no, and anything else is a “convince me”. It can be hard to see that, though.[Swept Together Clip 7]Oh to have an employer who is self-aware enough to communicate that this significant decision might require some think time. And if you have an employer that self aware, treasure them. For the rest of us, we have to remind ourselves that what is being communicated is simply that this is a significant decision requiring think time, NOT that this is a no.And in closing, we’ll hand you one more strategy. Don’t ask. Tell.[Swept Together Clip 8]So in conclusion: Professional development is good for the employee, it is good for the employer, we can number the reasons and list them off, it is important to be aware of your request style as an employee and your employer’s request style as an employer, and it is good to use strategies that navigate that unique mix of styles. Or just tell them that they are covering your tuition.See you at interNational Nanny Training Day!

I have a long reputation of giving high quality information and this event is no exception. It will be jam packed with things you can use today to improve your business and your life. I must tell you though that registering is just the first step. Showing up to get the information is the important part. Even though we frequently record these events I really encourage you to show up live for several reasons. Many times we do a giveaway for people attending live. Sometimes we have a gift for those showing up 5 minutes early. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten e-mail from people that showed up late and because of the technology, couldn't even get in. Also, many times myself or one of my guests will do a truly limited offer only for people on the live event. I either turn off the recorder to give special deals and freebies only to the people that took the time to show up live or I edit that special out before putting out the replay. Now, I'm going to send e-mail and sometimes text reminders if you want them to help you remember the time and date of the event. If you’re seeing this on a page with all your attendance details, you can bookmark this page, you can add it to your smart phone or online calendar. Just make sure no matter how you do it, that you give yourself a reminder so if at all possible you don't miss the live event. And just like all of my events you can be darn sure me or my guest is going to offer you further training, but here's my promise to you. I'll only offer that training after I've fulfilled my promise to give you everything you just saw in the promotion of this event. You will never see me involved in an hour long teaser that gives you nothing and then asks you to spend a fortune. Also, would you like to get your friends to give you a big thank you? Tweet, facebook, e-mail send a carrier pigeon, or go door to door and Tell them about the fantastic information you're about to get. So, mark those calendars and I'll see you on the webinar.

Mike Hawthorne is a fantastic visual artist who came to writing later in life with his book The Hungry Horizon.  It's historical fiction about the pirate Bartholomew Sharpe who sailed with Henry Morgan before going his own way. Born in Manchester in 1954, well traveled and self taught, Mike Hawthorne has made his reputation in London since 1975 with exhibitions of rock, reggae, and jazz visuals, underground comix and work acquired by the Museum of London and Lembeth Archives.    The first nine years of his life were spent in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. His early influences were MAD magazines, illustrations of the American Civil War and television newsreels of Biafra and Vietnam. His paintings also draw on European medieval traditions of depicting heaven and hell. Since 1975 Hawthorne has worked in London, creating rock, reggae and jazz visuals and underground 'comix'.

Marc Paquien is the creator of the board game "Treasure Island".  In the game, one player "hides" the treasure and the other players ask questions and make calculations to find it.  Beyond that simple description, it's a game with all sorts of unique angles.  We talk about Marc's creative process when designing a new game including how he works from the idea of evoking a particular emotion with the game rather than just being concerned with game dynamics right away. There's also some good stuff in here about surrounding yourself with people that will be a positive influence on you accomplishing things you want to do.

Happy 2019!  For this first episode of the year I thought I'd try a little experimental episode.  We're going to take a deep dive into 1926's The Black Pirate starring Douglas Fairbanks. It's a great movie all by itself.  But digging into the film's background of breakthrough Technicolor use, inventive stunts, and movie magic makes the whole experience even more fun. Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.  Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more. If you haven't seen the movie or just want to watch it again, go to https://youtu.be/IIvjH93MKRU Here's the Myth Busters episode where they try the Blade Break and a bunch of other piratey things.  https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vmu3k Here's Reaching For The Moon, the 1930 Douglas Fairbanks talkie.  https://youtu.be/U5rTvWMx_Aw?t=3027 And here's the Key and Peele sketch where they do the pirate song that looks just like the meal scene in The Black Pirate.  https://youtu.be/MwUUDypEDNQ   Today's show is sponsored by: Pirata Clothing - Stylish pirate wear including hats, shirts, swimwear, and more.
