[quote=Anonymous]In general I like my nanny... i know there are levels of engagement I can't expect fro her. i don't expect her to be perfect.. I understand limited phone use and even giving the kids time to be alone etc.. I don't expect her to be totally different than me, but that said, I am paying her and she doesn't have any other responsibilities (no cleaning, no cooking, no bathing, etc..I don't make her do anything)... A few times my husband has come home at lunch and she's been on the phone or the 1 year old was downstairs alone (around stairs and plugs etc.) with a shoe in his mouth and she was upstairs (I believe with my daughter..) .. Another time my daughter was in my office and the baby was asleep and the nanny was alone in the kitchn family room area... i never catch her.. so it's all what my husband tells me.. I am the one that talks with and deals with the nanny so i am trying to figure out how to or if I should approach her on these things. i don't think anything bad is necessarily a regular activity but i do feel she's gotten a little lazy and maybe takes advantage of things with her situation I don't know how to talk to her since I can't prove anyting, i know she'll have an excuse for something.. i don't want to ruffle any relatinships etc... but at the same time, finding a new nanny is not hard to do... Can anyone share any suggestions/advice for how or if to aproach this? it weighs on me heavily.. I might add that I pay her well, am very accommodaing.. i have my older daughter in school or play dates.. i often take her out with me so the nanny just deals with the baby for the most part.. this is my first experience with a nanny but I have had her for a few years..
