[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of being a nanny is to be able to reinforce rules and "be the boss" while on duty. You're saying you have s structure? Great, enforce it! Doesn't matter if the grandma/dad is there. Just tell them nicely how you plan your day, show them what works best, and ask them to follow around. Shouldn't really be this hard , be in charge! It's your job! Hope that helps [/quote]

This 100%.  Nannies have to lay down the law with relatives and even parents sometimes. It is YOUR job and if they want you to do it well you need to be stress free and have a voice. That's the only way you can make sure their kids are safe and happy. If they want a well rounded child that is coping with special needs they need to be sure relatives understand how important routine and consistency is for him. If the parents are t on the same page with you being in charge of the kids while on the clock then you need to move on asap because they don't care about their kids or you. Grandmothers that like to interfere that way are a pain. They butt in here and there but when you aren't there probably could care less. They get territorial. Please put your foot down now. Hopefully there is also an area like a play room or basement where you can set up a play area to be away from others when you aren't able to get out of the house.

Good luck and don't be a punk! I guarantee they don't want the hassle of looking for another nanny and will have to have your back. [/quote]
