[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here - I don't have any issue at all with you asking your friend to report to you what she saw, but I agree with others that it sounds like you aren't cut out for a nanny or you will have to pay $$$$ to find one with the skills and attitude that you're looking for who can handle the level of micromanaging that you're proposing.  I can't imagine quizzing my nanny on exactly how she participated in story time, but I can imagine that if I did the way that you describe she'd think I was insane - and I have a fantastic professional nanny who goes over and above what I'd ever hoped for with my kids.[/quote]

Oh and the only reason I quizzed her about her participation was because it was only fair that I give her a chance to tell her side of the story.  I don't think it's too much to ask that a nanny participate during a 30 minute story time and if she really is a lazy nanny who just sits there as my friend said she was doing, I would let her go.  But I wouldn't want to fire her without letting her defend herself.

And if anyone is implying that it's okay for a nanny to just sit there without any good reason (not feeling well, being tired), then well your standards for your kids are different from my standards for my kid.[/quote]
