[quote=Anonymous]Have you said to your nanny that you really value the opportunity to check in with her face-to-face and would she be comfortable doing that on Fridays before you leave in the morning? What did she say?

I can't explain her withdrawn attitude - maybe she's an EXTREME introvert, maybe she thinks you don't like her, maybe she really is unhappy - but she can't read your mind either. I have what I think is a very good relationship with both of my bosses and I still never know how quickly they want me to clear out in the afternoons (they need to decompress too!) or if they want me to stay and give a detailed run down of the day. If you tell her what you want/need, as her boss, and she resists a reasonable request, that's when you have a problem. Setting up a weekly or bi-weekly check-in is a good idea because it gives you both a time solely dedicated to discussing any issues that have arisen. It can be easier on both sides to bring up a concern if you know you're both ready for the conversation - I never want to tell my MB that we had a bad day when she's just walking in from her own long day, you know?[/quote]
