[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the joy in nannying is the bond with the child. Being silly with them during meals, taking them on “adventures” and seeing them discover new things etc. It sounds like your friend only wants the most boring parts - endless floor play with baby, micromanaged to extent they couldn’t even pick out a snack for baby, and then expected to fade into wall whenever mom is around. It’s clear this mom would resent any bond the nanny formed and heaven forbid the kid ever said “nanny do it!” When mom was trying to feed them. So of course nanny’s are going to take a more fun job for the same comp even if this one is less work technically. I agree she should look for a mothers helper - I have a college student do more of this role one day a week for me. Play at home so I can get other things done, tidy up, join me on outtings (I have 3 kids), but no expectation that she is a nanny type level on either side [/quote]
