[quote=Anonymous]I feel as though she is walking on eggshells all the time as if I'm going to blow a fuse.  I've worked for them for two months.
Last Monday, she told me she adjusted his sleep/eating schedule a little.  After going over it, she quickly said, "You can see you don't have to feed him any more times, just in a different order..."  She seemed worried that I wouldn't be receptive to it.  Sheesh, even if I was feeding him an extra time, I wouldn't have seen as a big deal, just part of my job.

Yesterday, I texted her something like, "when is a good time to talk?  I just want to discuss my schedule."  She left me a voice mail sounding worried, saying "I'm home and can talk whenever you want.  I hope everything is okay."  She thought I was mad, when I just wanted clarification on something.

She once asked me if she took out his blocks, would I be okay cleaning them up.  In my head I was screaming, "Yes!  Please give us the blocks!  This poor boy has hardly any toys!"  I guess she had noticed we were building things with his books.  I coolly said, "sure, no problem to clean them up."  She said the old nanny didn't like cleaning them up and mom would come home to a big mess.  Once again, isn't cleaning up toys part a nanny's job?

The up side of this for me is that every little thing I do, they think I'm Mary Poppins.  I amazed them by teaching their 2y.o. some little songs, and by knowing that a fair-skinned boy needs sunscreen.  
But seriously, any tips on how I can convince the parents - especially mom - that they don't have to worry so much about catering to me?  Yes, I know this is a great problem to have.[/quote]
