[quote=Anonymous]I agree that your Nanny definitely does not sound like she is fit to be a Nanny.

But w/o being snarky - you really should stress to your children that while you are working, that they must NOT knock on your door or barge inside (you should keep the door locked.)

One of the challenges of being a Nanny for parents who telecommute is that they leave 💯% responsibility up to the Nanny regarding leaving the parent alone.

The child should respect that their parent is working + be instructed not to knock on doors, calling for them.

I once worked for a Mother who worked from an upstairs office and had to quickly use the bathroom.
I told the five-yr old child to sit outside the bathroom door, on the steps to wait for me to come out.
And as soon as I closed the door he ran upstairs and barged into his Mother’s home office.
Unbeknownst to me, it was during a conference call and after I went upstairs to get the child, the Mother ripped into me with everyone listening I am sure.
She berated me for not doing my job and said I was wasting her money.

Needless to say I respectfully stayed silent, apologized then didn’t return the next week.[/quote]
