[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not one to blame the victim ... but OP sounds awful.

You get what you pay for. Make your kids lunch and put it in your fridge for the nanny to feed them if you don't like that they are feeding them....

Arrange activities for your nanny to take your child too... find play groups, classes, etc.

Actually try to find another child to do a nanny share with, other then then 1 family you spoke too that didn't work out.... there are PLENTY out there

20 dollars is barely a living wage, if that's all you can afford then manage your expectations accordingly.[/quote]
This is straight up nuts. What is the point of having a nanny if OP has to do all the work wrt feeding, scheduling, finding activities, etc. You are absolutely ridiculous. We pay our nanny $20/hr and she is wonderful and does all of this. OP, I'm sorry, you just have a bad nanny. It's not you or the pay. It's just this nanny. Unfortunately it does take a lot of work to find a decent nanny as there ARE a lot of crappy ones out there. I have a friend who's been struggling the past couple years with a situation similar to yours and she and her DH are not the reason they've had nanny churn, except in that I guess they weren't able to determine in interviewing that the nannies weren't very good. I think you should let this one go and try again. There really are good nannies out there, yes, including at the $20/hour level.[/quote]

Op has gone through 8 nannies in 2 years- she’s the problem not the nanny.[/quote]
