[quote=Anonymous]There are a few nannies (or just one posting a lot) trying to troll up trouble by suggesting your nanny is somehow smarter or better than you are, OP. Ignore them. This is YOUR child. How your child is fed, diapered, entertained, or clothed is YOUR decision, OP. If she can't understand and respect your right to make all the parenting decisions regarding your child, you need to replace her with someone you can work with.

This is not to say you should never invite her advice when you want or need it. My nanny has never offered advice, but has always been willing to give it when I ask for it. I have asked for it over the years, especially when it is an issue that affects us both (nap and sleep issues, the picky eating phase, handing tantrums or other behavior issues). We have an open dialogue about those things and I almost always take her advice or work with her to find something we can both handle.

I would never ask her about what I should clean with, or how my child should dress, or what she plays with. Because she is a professional, she would never give unsolicited advice on these things.[/quote]
