[quote=Anonymous]OP I strongly suggest that you find someone who has already raised children. That way, the person you hire will already have previous experience in caring for both age groups as well as multiple children at the same time.

It sounds like your nanny likes the novelty and cuteness of babies. In fact, some nannies actually prefer to work w/babies over older children. From what you stated, it doesn't sound like your nanny is suited to the job at hand anymore. She has outgrown your daughter and since you already have tried to talk to her about it w/no results, you have no other option at this point but to let her go and find another person.

It wouldn't be fair to your older child to keep this current nanny on. 
No child should have to deal w/feeling like a second wheel like your child is.

Plus, you are paying this nanny well and she is just not doing an efficient job anymore.

Bottom line:
Give her notice and hire another nanny who is older, and has already raised children.

Good luck to you.[/quote]
