[quote=Anonymous]I would appreciate some advice. We have a new nanny who joined us a few months back. Our previous nanny Was wonderful and I'm having problems to adjust to the new one.

Specifically she acts more like a housekeeper or "servant" to our kids than a nanny. She does not teach them to clean up after themselves but runs after them to pick up toys, clean the table after them etc. My 3 Year Old who always cleaned up after himself told me this morning when I asked him to put away his plate that "no, nanny will do it". Yikes! I also constantly remind her that we need to say please, thank you, good morning etc and that she has to reinforce this with my son. She has a bit of a "mopey" personality and is not very enthusiastic.

She also does not really engage in creative play, I have to nag her to go outside and play etc. Not proactive at all.

My concern is also stronger as she used to work for my BIL and family and seeing those kids as young adults they are quite mopey too and very inactive. I never connected that to the nanny but now that I have seen her at work I'm starting to wonder...

What would you do? Any chance this can be corrected or should we let her go? She is very sweet, flexible and trustworthy which I all really appreciate But I don't want to compromise my kids development and learning. And at some level I am having diffIculties liking her personality... DH and I are both very involved in the kids and teach them ourselves, but I want them to have consistency and as we both work they will be spending a lot of their time with nanny.[/quote]
