[quote=Anonymous]I'm a new nanny and have been with this family for nearly three months. I always give the mom a rundown of the day (my charges are 6 and 9 yo) and keep her informed of any problems we've had with following rules, being respectful, etc. When the position started she would text me throughout the day from her work, so I got in the habit of texting her throughout the day as well, especially when problems arose that I wasn't sure how she'd like me to handle (like the 6 yo having a tantrum).

I've been reading up on different nanny forums and am starting to get the feeling this might not be normal or wise. Have I been making myself look incapable of doing my job? The mom isn't much of a talker and seems to be depressed more days than not so I don't get much feedback on how she thinks I'm doing, but I do get thanked and she seems really friendly on rare occasions so I think I'm okay. Still, for the future, how do you handle everyday conflicts and behavioral issues with your charges in terms of relaying info to the parents? Does less sharing = more job security (assuming it's not an emergency)?[/quote]
