[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some really weird replies here, and frankly they seem like they're all written by one person. I'll be flagging so Jeff can take a look.

Anyhow, OP, this is a unique bad nanny sighting! Never seen one like it before. I'm glad you posted. The nanny is sending a horrible message to that little girl, as well as to her brothers, and secondarily, to the other kids at the park. I hope the parents see this.

You don't sound like a nanny at all. But here's a REALITY CHECK for you. When you hire an unknown person to be the care provider, there's no way you can control these things.

What's ingrained is ingrained. You can keep fooling yourself otherwise, if you prefer.

I'm curious as to what part of my response makes you think I'm not a nanny. I have been a nanny for almost ten years now, and have worked with children in other capacities for even longer. I take pride in what I do.

As to your "point," of course this sort of belief is ingrained in a person from childhood. That is precisely why this post is such a concern. I am certain the parents do not want such thoughts in their children's inner monologues their whole lives. And yes, in a nanny/employer relationship, some issues will pop up which are not foreseeable. This is not necessarily one of them. However, it is important to interview carefully and hire someone who will assist the parents to instill the desired values in their children, and also to address issues such as this as they occur.

I also find it telling that the posts I flagged and asked Jeff to check were deleted.[/quote]
How naive you are. Best to hire a person who shares your values if you care about values. It's not rocket science, my dear.[/quote]
