[quote=Anonymous]I have a few thoughts. One is that this is not an easy dynamic - nanny is only there a few hours each day and you're home, doing things in parallel with the nanny. If you were gone and nanny had full control/responsibility, it might be easier for her to take charge of the situation and your 4 yo might be more cooperative, knowing that you're not there as back up if only she acts up enough.

Second, you have to really convey to both the nanny and your child that you expect the nanny to have and take full responsibility while on duty. Empower the nanny to give consequences for bad behavior. Let your daughter know that you have full confidence in the nanny and expect DD to respect the nanny - that there will be consequences for not listening to her. Also, is there any time for them to establish a rapport outside of the morning rush? Maybe on snow days, or during the summer? Obedience comes more easily when the foundation of the relationship is warm & loving - the child should want and care about the approval from the nanny. If they have no chance to bond, then the nanny's lack of approval is meaningless and any negative consequences administered will not be as effective.[/quote]
