[quote=Anonymous]You sound like you're new to employing a nanny. Think of it this way: the number 1 priority is the well being of your child. You have so far been the primary caregiver and know your baby best. She knows a lot about being a caregiver, and that is something that you and your baby can benefit from. Approach this as a two-way street, but ultimately you are the employer.

I think you should say that on second though, you would like her to try your way, at least at first so that the baby can get comfortable with her. It's not fair on the baby to not only have a new caregiver, but one who does things so differently.

Why don't you say that while you are happy to have her input once the nanny settles in and bonds with the baby, you think it might be more reassuring for the baby to have some consistency in routines around napping, eating, etc. Then if the nanny is finding that certain parts of the routine aren't working for her and it is in the best interests of the baby to change them, that would be fine. To be diplomatic you can explain that this is all very new to you and hope she will understand and be patient with you.[/quote]
