Just as a note, the only job I ever left because of a child involved a 3 yo boy who was so horribly spoiled that he would literally drop his sippy cup on the ground and then yell for me to pick it up and give it back to him WHILE he stood next to said cup. [/quote]

Weird, this seems like a pretty typical late-toddlerhood power struggle that any decent (not even great) childcare provider should be able to handle. [/quote]

NP.  I have had charges who were like this child, and parents who expected me to cater to the child, and I have quit, too.  If the parents want to raise a spoiled brat, that is there business.  I will not cater to a child's every whim, and I certainly don't encourage bad behavior (throwing the cup on the floor and yelling for nanny to pick it up and hand it back is age-appropriate for a one year old, but I still teach them that it won't be tolerated).

Yes, a nanny can manage the power struggles inherent with toddlers and preschoolers, but only if the parents allow it.  When the parent notifies the nanny that she isn't to say no to the child, that's my cue to give notice.[/quote]
