[quote=Anonymous]At 1-1.5 y.o. how often does your nanny change a wet diaper on average? I find that our nanny neglects to change the toddler and sometimes his diaper is as wet as overnight diaper. Today I pointed it out and she kinda blew me off. So i ended up changing the child myself (this was during lunch break, DH and I work from home). I think she was trying to drag it out until nap time which was in another 45 min so that she won't have to change twice potentially.   Would you reprimand? Do you have an explicit instruction/agreement on diapers - every time it's wet, every hour check or smth else systematic?   (I don't care about cost and am not trying to save on baby supplies, this was made clear when we hired her).

On a separate issue, she was trying to teach DC concept of "another" by pointing out electrical outlets in the house (including those behind furniture). We generally try distract him from those and steer him away.  Again, would you reprimand for this and ask to use something more baby appropriate for demonstration? (doors, books, toys).

While I am at home these are not huge deal breakers to fire her over. But if both DH and I go back to the office I would not be at ease since I perceive this as cutting corners and bad judgement.

What does the collective wisdom say? (interested to hear from employers mostly).
