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.

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 client’s personal info. I really wanted to be apart of a business and see how operates and I finally got that view. I am kind of in awe or shock because all my other jobs were pretty unprepared for the onboarding process or training. The fact my company did the right and prepared duty by preparing a binder and a welcome sign, they make you feel welcomed and ready for you to join the team. I feel like that shows that there is good management, systems that they follow, and there is a delegation of power. Also, there is always a back up for someone’s position and everyone understands and accepts the idea of team work and helping out when needed.

I worked at a daycare that told us two weeks before they were getting shut down that we needed to find another job/ parents needed to find care elsewhere. It was the worst form of communication I have ever witnessed. They definitely did not have a proper crisis communication plan in place because we all felt out of the loop which made parents and teachers livid and angry. People started demanding answers, expecting teachers to have the latest information and lead to bad news about the daycare in the local town. It was World of Smiles, I am surprised it did not make the news.
