[quote=Anonymous]So first, I will say that MOST experienced nannies are going to "regard a crying baby as no big deal" to some extent. I have seen countless meltdowns in my time and have way more perspective than a first time parent does, and it just doesn't bother me on a visceral level--which is what enables me to stay calm and do my job even with very high-strung babies. So I would not view it as a major fault that she doesn't look panicked or upset that baby is crying. Would you really want a nanny who is thrown by a crying baby? But that said, she either didn't understand the instructions re: sleep training or she did understand but felt that her method would be better so she overruled you. Either way, that part of you description is a big problem. I would have a very clear discussion about whether she is willing to do as you ask, even if she disagrees. If you find that is not the case then, yes. You need someone new.[/quote]
