[quote=Anonymous]Lateness is an issue for sure. For the rest I would outline expectations (a new year is a great excuse to have that conversation without it seeming critical!).  I would clearly outline expectations and baby-related tasks you’d like to offload to her.  You will still have to manage her if she’s not naturally proactive. I suggest to my nanny that in the next week or two, I’d like her to sort out outgrown clothes and make a list of items where I need to buy the next size up.  My nanny is explicitly told that she should maintain a list of everything we are running low on (and a pad of paper lives on the counter for that purpose).  I ask her to research classes and make a suggestion on which one she might like to go to with the baby.  I view all of these things as just part of managing an employee.  It’s tough to add that on to your already busy day, but it’s the downside of having a nanny and being able to customize the experience (rather than another childcare setting where you wouldn’t have as much choice).  Good luck![/quote]
