[quote=Anonymous]Employer here....and I think our nanny is very happy....

1) we have a daily log that sits on the table - she leaves us notes because we don't have a lot of time to chat.  If there's something I don't want to forget, I email her.

2) Our nanny has guaranteed hours

3) We have housekeepers come once a week and regularly clean up (we have a dog AND host a share, so I just need it to be cleaned professionally for everyone's piece of mind.  Not an expense I love, but worth it).  We have a double sink, so dishes we don't have time to tend to, we put to one side so she has an uncluttered space.  We ALWAYS have food for her and we allow her to keep whatever she needs in our home.  If you have the space, dedicate a drawer or a shelf for her to keep items there (a sun hat, her own sunblock, whatever else she needs - mine keeps her tea and other items, for example).

4) I give my nanny money, and she lets me know when it's out.  I trust her, and it goes a long way in a city full of so many great free activities.

I'll also add that we 1) give a bonus 2) give her little perks like movie tickets or a gift card for a mani pedi because I know she has a difficult job.  We also try to be as flexible as possible with leave so she has time to recharge. She's so great with my son and the other little boy, I would do anything to make sure she's happy and knows she's appreciated (even at the expense of my own self care!)

Good luck![/quote]
