[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  She has not nannied in about 4 years and has been instead taking care of elderly adults and we are paying her accordingly.  I'm also not too concerned about health and safety as I work from home and will be on hand in case of emergency. As I said, I'm pleased that she's listening to my suggestions and I can see her trying to implement them.  It's hard to ask for anything more than that. I'm just worried it may not be enough.  Sigh, [/quote]

I don't think it's a lost cause yet. She's taken most of the direction you've given her so far. Let her know that even though DD is older, she still needs a structured schedule just like the baby. Before the next time she has her full day, ask her to outline a schedule for the day ahead of time. Take a look at it and note any problems. Let her know where there should and shouldn't be flexibility (ie. "it's fine to move snack time up an hour if she get's hungry, but bedtime should absolutely be 7:30" or whatever is applicable).[/quote]
