[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny makes me kinda bonkers and I’m pretty annoyed with her on several fronts but my kids truly adore her snd are deeply attached to her so I have to be flexible because of their bond.

The things that bug me are she’s late every single day by anywhere from 5-25 minutes. She also is pretty disorganized and I am not exaggerating-under her watch we have lost over 15 pairs of shoes (or single shoes, rather) in a year. She also lets my kid draw on the wall, which really astonishes me that she doesn’t seem to worry or feel bad.

She leaves the dishwasher overflowing with clean dishes every single day, which is a massive pain because I’m rushing to get dinner on the table and have to unload the dishwasher first. There’s ususally a sink full of clean dishes too.

But she handles therapy for my special needs DS and he has made tremendous progress under her care, so much so that our therapists and doctors are shocked. And other than being late every day, she’s otherwise reliable and low drama and sweet and loving.

So I guess yeah we settled but not on safety/sweetness/attentiveness to the children which were my priorities. [/quote]
