[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks for the advice and the suggestion for future contracts.  Very helpful.

If (or really when) we let this nanny go, we are going to tell her it is because of personality differences that just don't make this a compatible partnership long-term.  I think she is good with our son, but she is very emotional about kids, she is a helicopter nanny (and we are more free-range parents), and she constantly lectures us about safety for our kid.  We aren't new to this whole parenting thing and the lectures get OLD -- she came in this morning and talked to me for 10 minutes about how I can never, ever turn around for a crying kid while driving because I may get into a crash and kill my kid if I'm not looking straight ahead.

Oh, and she also told me that I couldn't use a certain word with my son (who she has known for all of four days) because it is her "special word" with him.  None of this came out in the interview process -- she seemed like a nice, experienced nanny who enjoys kids, period.[/quote]
