[quote=Anonymous]We are starting with a new nanny next week after a marginal year with our first.  She wasn't terrible and I felt that the kids were safe, but she basically just kept them alive all day, was frequently on her cell phone with the kids, and did a lot of hanging out with her own nanny friends during the afternoons even if my kids were completely different ages or the playground a long drive away (note that I have no problem with my nanny hanging out with her nanny friends with the kids as long as the kids are similar ages and enjoy playing together - it's at the point where you're driving my 3yo girl 20 minutes away past 20 other playgrounds to hang out with your nanny friend who has an 8yo boy that it's obvious that you don't have my child's best interests in mind).  I'm glad we finally got brave enough to end the relationship, and we're excited about our new nanny.

If you had a bad experience with a nanny (trust issues, lack of engagement, lack of professionalism, etc), how did you get over it and start fresh with the new one?  I'm afraid I'm going to be micro-managing because I got burned with the last one, and I am so not into that.  [/quote]
