[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all the nannies can be trained. We tried to have a driving nanny/household manager combo, and it's a disaster.  The families she worked for before had little kids; we have teenagers who need to be driven places. She forgets the schedule, calls me at work weekly to ask, can't estimate how long things take, and never takes initiative.  The only thing she's OK with is grocery shopping, but then she shops for herself, too, so it takes longer.  I can believe that she's good with babies, where little is asked of her in terms of planning and execution, but as a household manager, she is of little help. My mental load just doubled, and I need to find someone else. Oh, we pay $25 cash for 4-5 hours a day, and then all the holidays, sick leave, and pay when we don't need her. [/quote]
Why would you think a nanny could be a good manager? [/quote]

Because she took the job, where I clearly described the requirements, I trusted her judgment and was wrong. [/quote]
Low income workers usually have to take whatever they can get. [/quote]
