[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd feel like a prisoner if I wasn't "allowed" to do what was best for the child. (All my employers have mentioned how my "standards" of excellence are above and beyond theirs.)

They should get trained on how to be smart employers. Micromanagement is never wise in the long run. It might help them feel more like "engaged" parents, but it really doesn't work that way. Their behavior saddens me. They have an excellent nanny, but will eventually lose her, to more respectful and appreciative parents. Such a shame. [/quote]

So parents should just let the nanny do whatever she likes regardless of whether it is actually what's best for the child as long as the nanny says it is?  That's really poor parenting.  OP said she can take the child out of the house to a variety of activities but the parents just don't want her to go to classes.  If you've read the thread everyone except you has agreed that a 7 month old gets no benefit from classes so either you are an inexperienced nanny who also doesn't know that classes are unnecessary or you are a bad nanny who just wants to bully parents into doing whatever you want to.

My children are 3 1/2 and 2 and the nanny takes them to a variety of age appropriate activities that she comes up with and I'm happy to let her take them wherever she wants.  However if she had suggested taking them to non-age appropriate activities I'd have the backbone to say no.[/quote]
