[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]She hates seeing them cry, which I understand, but is not helping us out in this situation. I really want to keep her (she's been with us a little over a year), and I know she wants to be more firm, but she just seems bewildered when confronted with 3-year-old intransigence and manipulation.

I will admit that she's not the brightest person in the world -- whe takes direction well (usually), but is not good at coming up with her own solutions or taking the initiative. I'm just not available to troubleshoot every situation with her each day or to hold her hand through it, which is why I thought a class might give her a better "toolkit" (and maybe some roleplay) than hearing what we do when she's not here.

I'm not sure why you want to keep her. She doesn't sound like a skilled nanny.[/quote]

We are having another baby in June, and, like I said, she's great with babies. She also knows our routine, and she has a terrific temperment for our older kids, who need someone calm. I also feel some loyalty to her; I hired her knowing she didn't have older-child experience as a nanny, and I feel like I owe it to her to help her try to improve before I just let her go. I also don't want to spring a new baby and a new nanny on the kids simultaneously if I can help it.[/quote]
