Personal Management Experiences

June 3rd, 2019 Reflection- After being a nanny for a few years, I have learned that it is hard and an awkward working in someone else's home. With that being said, managing and working with parents can become personal and too friendly making it hard to stay professional. I think depending on who you are as a person, it can be hard to put your foot down and draw that line. I am one of those people. I think management in a nanny and parent dynamic can be very challenging and I am curious about how some families and young woman have worked out their differences and stay professional throughout their employment.  June 13th, 2019: I have started a new job at an insurance agency and as I am approaching my first week, I finally feel like I am apart of an industry I have been wanting and needing for myself. I have very thoughtful and conscientious managers who check in with me and have a system for new employees. It is interesting that I never had receptionist job where I am handling cl...

Update on News/Media

My weekly updates on surprising or interesting things I read or watch or the news are listed below. June 3rd, 2019- I watch the news mostly every morning. I put the news on in the living room and in passing I will stop, drink some coffee, and watch a few minutes of it.

Weekly Reflections

Below are my weekly reflections on the chapters, articles, videos, etc. This week chapters were the most interesting to me so far. I think ethics play an important role in the success of a company or organization. I have always been a rule follower and a heavy believer on karma. I feel like if you do good, good will follow. Putting negative energy into a situation may only lead to a lack of confidence and success within a company. I have been a giver when it comes to my work ethic and recently I feel like it can be more tiring than being a taker. Sometimes when you are a giver, those who are takers will take and take until you feel like you can’t give anymore. The lady I used to nanny for did this more often than she should and I got to a point where I didn’t want to go the extra mile for her because it was not being appreciated. She started to just expect me to just do things because I set the standards so high from the start which leaves me now burnt out. I think being a giver and ...
