[quote=Anonymous]Your kids want the nanny to hold them when they know she is leaving for the day, they don't want her to leave.  At 18 months, 3 and 5, that's normal.

Yes, she knows things about the kids that you don't, but that's why she should be either putting it in a log or telling you.

There is no reason for the kids to be calling the nanny at all.  If they want to video chat with the nanny when you are on vacation, it's during her work hours and she's getting guaranteed pay, that would be fine, but they should be distracted enough during vacation to not think about it.

It sounds like your kids are doing fun things with the nanny, but if all they do with you after she leaves is dinner, bath and bed, they know that the fun things are done.  They young, they want to have fun and never go to bed, it's completely normal.

Yes, I'm sure your nanny likes knowing that your kids love her, just like she loves them.  However, there's a very, very big difference between being glad the your kids love her and delighting in your frustration.

If you want to change the kids' behavior, you need to change how things are happening.  You need to do more fun things with your kids in the evenings, that way they don't see the nanny leaving as the end of a good day and the start of a not so fun evening.  Some parents would replace the nanny with someone new, but most parents won't do that.[/quote]
