[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a fantastic nanny.  We were just gone for an extra long labor day weekend.  We contractually pay her for the time (of course) and there was no expectation that she works if we are out of town.  Yet she came (on her own volition!) and organized all the kid's clothes for fall, set up a book and toy rotation system, restocked the kitchen with all our staples, organized our pantries, cleared out water bottles that had gotten junkie and did a target run to pick up some more, and many other things.  Basically spent 1.5 days of the 3 days she had while we were gone doing a ton of extra things as a kind surprise.

Before the nasty nannies imply that we must be a horribly slobby and disorganized household that she felt that she absolutely had to do this to be able to function - we are not at all.  She's a hard-working and kind person that wants to go above and beyond in her job and we give her good pay, appreciation, and bonuses for it.

That is what a great nanny looks like. they're out there, like at any job you'll find the people that care about being great at their work (assuming they like their job / employer) and the people that dial it in for a pay check acting like they're the victims [/quote]

Good for your doormat! Personally she sounds like a damn fool who makes it harder for professionals who realize when the family is vacationing that’s nanny’s time off.[/quote]
