[quote=Anonymous]I am an MB and in my life experience (not just as an MB), it is not that easy to change one's behavior as an adult, whatever the capacity, parent, child, employer, employee, etc. etc.  It is one thing to be a new parent (or nanny) and learn something from square one (albeit with our built-in personalities and behaviors) or to be an existing parent or nanny and try to change our behavior on the margins, i.e., how we react in certain defined situations.  It is quite another thing to change from a "passive manager" to a "confident, positive manager" (OP's words).

OP, be honest with yourself as to what it is you want your nanny to change.  Is it as simple as you wish your nanny to do x instead of y in certain defined situations?  Or is what you are wishing for that your nanny change her personality?  And even if it is the former, it is not a given that your nanny will WANT or BE ABLE to change.  In any case, in OP's shoes, I would keep my expectations for improvement low.[/quote]
