[quote=Anonymous]No do not check out the nanny perks. Respecting someone is not about letting them goof off while working. Respecting someone isn't about trying to make sure she has no work and multiple weeks of paid time off in addition to vacation/PTO. Respecting someone is not inviting them to couch surf watching NetFlix all day.

Respecting someone includes things like always being on time. If you need to be late make sure to call her and apologize just to show that you respect that you are now making her late too. Don't let it become a pattern. Always pay her on time. If the job duties need to change significantly, recognize that this is a change. Give her the right of first refusal. She'll appreciate that you recognized you are changing the job duties and as a professional she can accept or decide its time to move on. Most likely she'll accept and be happy you were respectful.

A small thing but ask her what she would like the children to call her. Some nannies would prefer to be called Miss X, some are OK with first names, and some would prefer Ms Lastname. [/quote]
