[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I think her broader point is sound. First time nanny employers need to shift away from just wanting someone to love their kid and instead think about what it's going to be like a) having an employee, b) sharing your home with another adult and c) coparenting with an additional person. And I know enough first time parents who haven't figured this out before hiring their first nanny that I think it bears repeating. That said, the examples she gives were really strange to me. She's fine shrugging it off if her baby isn't being fed correctly but not fine if nanny takes an infant on a shopping trip? I would think nutrition as a basic physiological need would rank higher than making sure nanny doesn't do any lollygagging on "your" time (I've never taken charges on personal shopping but I still think it's a weird ranking of priorities).[/quote]
