[quote=Anonymous]Tell her exactly how you want her to handle your daughter. Especially with you working from home, many young/inexperiences nannies are nervous to implement discipline in front of parents if they haven't explicitly been told what to do. So sit down with your nanny and tell her that you realize she may be new to working with 3YOs (or new to your family or however you think you ought to phrase it) and you wanted to be clear about how you wanted her to handle situations. Tell her if DD is trying to interrupt you you'd like her to SAYXYZ and DOXYZ. You should also ask her to read whatever parenting book you're most following/most agree with. And very important: ask her if she's felt she's been having trouble and is there anything you can do to help. You need to make sure she has the opportunity to ask you any questions ("do you mind if I leave the baby in her swing while DD and I DOXYZ?") she might have been wondering about.[/quote]
