[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what specifically you're reacting to, but sure, there are going to be some parents who have their whole day scheduled.  Sounds like you wouldn't be a good fit for that top of employer.  Other nannies might.  Probably a good question to ask while interviewing, but nothing to get nasty about.

I personally would give my nanny a schedule to follow loosely in the beginning.  If she showed me that she had the instincts to generally follow the way I'd like my kids to be raised while making adjustments based on her experience and the kids' day-to-day needs, I'd stop scheduling.  If, on the other hand, she was making adjustments that I didn't agree with or that I thought were for her own personal needs rather than for the kids, then I'd have a talk with her and/or go back to strict scheduling.

If you have an MB who you feel is unnecessarily scheduling your day, have a talk with her to see why.  She may think it's helpful to you, it may make her feel more comfortable to know exactly where her kids are during the day, or she may just prefer to have the control in which case you may just not be a good fit.  But it's also quite possible that she doesn't trust your judgment enough to leave you to your own devices.[/quote]
