[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sick of dcum nannies crapping on every thread. It’s perfectly reasonable to ask for more activities as the kids get older. And yes, all employers give more work but no more pay. That happens in corporations too[/quote]

You know damn well that's not true or fair. Only terrible companies continually pile on work and increase job duties with no increase in salary. You can't retain good employees doing that.

But that's not the real issue here. The real issue is that OP is not a teacher. She simply believes her nanny isn't teaching her child as a result of her own untrained observations. Maybe rather than trying to instruct the nanny on something she actually knows nothing about, OP should ask her nanny about her methods. Maybe OP's nanny is incorporating more learning into their activities than OP realizes, because she holds the mistaken assumption that learning looks a specific way. Maybe OP should trust the expertise of the professional educator that she hired? Maybe OP's child asks 10 million questions a day, which the nanny works to navigate, and allows the child's curiosity to guide their day?

We really don't know. But for some reason everyone wants to jump to this nanny is a lazy money grubber, this nanny doesn't know how to teach, or this nanny needs OP to tell her how to nanny. Why is that?[/quote]
