My nanny just annoys me

[Anonymous]

Just remember it's not about you, it's about your kids. Do your kids like her? Then sign them up for Gymboree, Music Together, every playgroup you can find and if they have an unscheduled day, they can always drop in to PB&Jack. Keep them busy. She's probably overcompensating because she's nervous and young.

There has to be better things for this forum?

You should have let her go much sooner or never hired her after trial period.

Really not fair to your kids to do this IMO, unless they also personality clash with her (unlikely.)

What is this crazy mom bashing! YOU have to like your nanny and that is just as important as if your kids like her. You pay the bills and you will be recuperating from labor! So important to the family that the momma is happy!

This is why I don’t want a nanny job where parents work from home. These ppl are crazy. Families are pressed thinking it’s a trusr thing. No I just don’t like you. Too many chefs in the kitchen type thing.

Fire her and put your kids in daycare. You clearly aren’t meant to be an employer and that’s ok. Know your role.

I am an introvert with a few close extrovert friends, and let me tell you, I can handle them in small doses only. It sounds like the real issue is that her personality intrudes into your mental "space," and you feel drained trying to interact on that level. If that rings true for you, then you need to talk to the nanny about it. Be frank. "We really value you and love how great you are with DC, but when I am stressed, I really love to have quiet alone time, and I worry that having to share a house with you and DC 1 during maternity leave with make it hard for me to get any relaxing, quiet time. Can we brainstorm some plans/solutions?" Maybe you can sign DC1 up for a class or find some other fun things to happen during the day, or set up a play area in a new part of the house (like a basement) where she and DC1 can play away from you and the baby. If you are up front, she should be understanding. If you are in the kitchen eating lunch during the baby's only nap that day and she comes bouncing in and wants to talk your ear off, just smile politely and say, "It's nice to see you, X, but I am really worn out. Would you mind letting me just eat lunch in quiet? Have a great day!" You can ask for what you need without being rude.

Agree with the problem but totally disagree with the solution. Bring up the bottom line in a friendly normal way without those weird explanations-just say you need quiet time by yourself with the baby in the morning or whatever and you should sign up summer activities or whatever or tell her to take the others to the park at X time each day.

Why don't you dislodge the stick from your own ass. You sound like an entitled bitch.

It's just her personality, it clashes with mine. I'm sarcastic, very dry and she's this super peppy happy-all-the-time cup of sugar. Her voice is an octave only dogs can hear, she laughs about EVERYTHING, and not just a slight chuckle a loud obnoxious ear splitting laugh. It's really no her, it's me. I'm too hard to please, and generally not a people person. She is non stop talk, she reminds me of that girl from band camp. I can deal because I'm rarely with her, but I'm about to have another child, be on maternity plus start working from home. I know this makes me an awful person but I don't know if I can make it, nothing against her at all, she's a great nanny but she drives me nuts.

Would I burn in hell for firing my nanny just because she's too perky for my taste? Yes? Yeah, I figured.

What a narcissist you are. I feel sorry for your children.

How often do you overlap with her?
