[quote=Anonymous]Try to take a step back and think about what you learned from your previous experience, and make your expectations clear with your new nanny. Sounds like you want someone engaged, constant phone use bugs you, and you appreciate kid centered outings and play dates with kids of a similar age. Make this clear to your new nanny, but don't punish her for your old nanny's mistakes (ie. a no outings/friends/phone rule). Also it sounds like you let some thing slide that bothered you, until you finally just couldn't take it. Don't do that this time. Say something the first time you see it, politely but firmly and nip issues in the bud. It really bugs me as a nanny to have a parent say something to me after months of it happening and they seem overly peeved about it. (One mom really didn't like the way I was folding the laundry and one day after nearly a year of doing it this way she got really snippy with me about it. Not cool) [/quote]
