[quote=Anonymous]Hi there -- I'd like some input on our situation.  We have a nanny that has been with us since July.  Her trial period is coming to a close and we are trying to figure out what to do.  Nanny does well with our toddler son, he seems to like her, and she does what we ask her to with him.  However, she and I (and to a certain extent my husband) have a personality clash.  She just plain annoys me -- she gives me mini-lectures on how to raise our kid, she NEVER stops talking, even when I'm trying desperately to get out the door in the morning, she gives me an oral rundown every day of the same stuff she puts on his daily log sheet, and she tries very hard to form a bond that just isn't going to happen -- shows us pictures of all of her family, tells us every birthday in her family, asks us all the time if we think she looks her age, makes suggestions about upkeep of our home, etc.  I realize I sound very cold-hearted in writing all of this out but it *is* a valid personality clash in my mind -- we believe this is a business relationship and she wants to be buddies.

So...give it to me.  Is this worth finding another nanny over?  I'm going to be home with her for the next five months on maternity leave and it makes me feel like a prisoner in our house because I try to avoid her all the time.  We pay well and so I'm not worried about finding another candidate.  I am, however, worried about whether it's a big deal to end the relationship if she does well with our son.

Thoughts?  Happy to answer any clarifying questions.[/quote]
