[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an uptight bitch, but none these are a huge deal. Certainly not offenses worth firing over at ALL. Tell her: 1. Please keep the little one's naps to a max of 3 hours (or whatever you don't want it to go over). 2. Please do not go in my room without my express permission. 3. Please be sure anything liquid is secured tightly and not precariously placed, so it won't spill and make a mess. As long as your kids are happy with how she says goodbye, it's not worth saying anything. Everyone has the right to have the level of physical contact they're comfortable with, even adults. Even nannies. Maybe she's "touched out" by the end of the day and doesn't want to do hugs by then.[/quote] MB here and I basically agree with this. Re the leaving at the end of the day - I prefer not to have a big production around arrival/departure of anyone -myself and their father included. I want calm and stability - they're totally loved and secure no matter whether it's their nanny or a parent with them, and I want the transitions between all of us to be calm and happy. So much of what you're describing sounds pretty nitpicky - but I would clarify the schedule you want, and any space that you would prefer to be officially off-limits. (It sounds like your nanny was trying to be helpful with the book thing, so don't make it a punitive thing - that won't help the relationship in the long run.)[/quote]
