[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were you I'd move on.

I knew it was time to move on when the nanny stopped doing lots of things. Like, they'd play outside and she'd leave the toys on the front lawn. She'd eat lunch and leave her dishes on the counter rather than rinse and put them in the dishwasher. She used to get out pjs and towel for bath and stopped doing that.

We talked with her to ask if something was wrong, listed out the issues, asked if she would go back to doing those things, and she was vaguely non-committal and didn't do them, so we got someone new. [/quote]

Job creep.  If you want all these extras, PAY FOR THEM

Right. Better post title, "3 years in, my nanny seems tired of doing things for free. Is it time to find a new person to underpay?"

OP your kids aren't babies anymore. Nanny doesn't have as much down time anymore, and she can't get as many non child related things done during the day. Your children are also likely more difficult day in and out, and it sounds like your nanny is burned out and feeling unappreciated. She's working harder, you're focussed on what she's not doing, and perhaps you haven't been totally fair when it comes to raises, bonuses, time off, and recognition for the increasing difficulty of her job. Happy employees don't suddenly stop being awesome. [/quote]
