It is possible to do both.

Formal reviews are a good time to discuss significant changes to the work agreement, wages, job description, discipline, letting nanny go etc anything that requires a talking out.

Things that are not appropriate to discuss with the child present or in the 5 to 10 minutes after parents return from work are best left to formal review.

I disagree.....

Formal reviews are unnecessary for in home positions such as domestic jobs. I.e, nannies, housekeepers, caregivers, etc.

OP here. You are probably right. They are not necessary, because he employer can just say "do things this way" and move on. However, treating the nanny more like a professional, and a partner in raising our children will, I hope, make her feel good about how we think of her and help retain her long term. I'm not going to have her sign a review, or do a self-review, but I will bring out a copy of her contract so we can look at anything that isn't working or needs changing.
