[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your baby, your rules. Decide for yourself if you want baby to experience "your way" and then, at different times, "nanny's way".  I wouldn't micromanage her over exactly how she folds a bib or changes a diaper, but there are some things where I want consistency, and my child's routine is one of those.

In my humble opinion, your child's routine should govern, not the nanny's habits. [/quote]

That is exactly what micromanaging is.[/quote]

No it's not.  Not micromanaging doesn't mean NEVER managing.  It doesn't mean never asking the nanny to do things "your way."  It means what the PP said, not managing how she changes the diaper or folds a bib or every little thing but [b]picking the things that are important[/b].  [/quote]

Key words here. The things OP is talking about are NOT important. The nap is important. It doesn't matter how she gets there, unless nanny were doing something grossly out of line with OPs parenting style (prolonged cry it out, if OP is an AP parent). Good managers are concerned with results, not the minutiae of how they happen. [/quote]
