[quote=Anonymous]OP--  She is experienced.  I spoke with two references who raved about her.  I asked her AND asked the references if she did minor cleaning and cooking of kids' meals.  I'm so confused.  I came home early to talk with her and she seemed miserable--  I started asking her about the day.  I asked if there was anything she needed-- anything I could do to make things easier.  All she would tell me is that she fed DD three whole string cheeses and DD refused her milk.  I said three string cheese seemed like a lot for a one year old (very calmly).  Apparently, DD was asking for them, so she gave them to her.  After my very mild expression of concern and suggestions of other foods, she clammed up again.  She said goodbye and walked out of the house almost ten minutes early.  My gut is telling me this is bad!  Our other nanny was so assertive with us and with DD.  It sometimes annoyed me, but now I appreciate the confidence.  I felt like I was having a conversation with a mouse.  DH has similar problems.  He generally stays out of the way and the nanny does not go into his space.  He has a serious deadline right now, so he doesn't seem to have time to help fix this.[/quote]
