[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a nanny in 2 nanny shares. Back then, no parents worked from home, and I had an old cellphone with no texting. No one ever had to "manage" me, so I keep wondering, what do you people mean by "managing" the nanny? I was in control the entire time. I would say, I had to manage 2 families, but no one had to manage me. How do you manage a nanny, anyway? Unless you hire to train someone with no experience.[/quote]

I’m a parent who employs a nanny and I agree with this. I don’t manage her at all. She is 100% in charge of my kid during work hours. I trust her entirely… if I didn’t, why would I leave my child with her?

When we had another kid and family in the mix I had to manage the other family. They were nice, but difficult. Late for pick up, late to pay, oddly demanding about details of the day, terrible at communicating their needs/wants to the nanny. Their daughter was also a total brat, and I could tell my nanny was unhappy. It was exhausting. [/quote]
