[quote=Anonymous]I'm a FTM and got a nanny when my baby was 2 months old. I recently let her go for the following reasons: 
- she was always hinting & asking for loans even though paid above average 
- she began spending excessive amount of time on the phone & watching tv while baby awake against my instructions 
- my 10 month old got severe food poisoning after she gave him rotten yoghurt 
- she started lecturing me on how to patent and would ignore instructions she didn't agree with 
Otherwise she was very good with the baby. When he turned 1 I decided to let her go and made an occasional babysitter full time

Now I feel like I made a mistake and should have stuck with the initial nanny until age 3 
- the new nanny is loving but has no concept of good nutrition
- her English is poor & she can hardly read and my son 15 month old cannot say any words 
- she insists on doing housework while watching the baby even though I have a cleaner come 2x a week

Overall I have less stress since I don't have a nanny who is constantly criticizing my parenting choices and always complaining about money. However I feel like much child is getting less intellectual stimulation and I'm worried I made the wrong decision. I'm really concerned about the language delay and feel like it would not be the case with the previous nanny and she read & sang to/with the baby, taught him stuff, and her elocution was perfect. 
Help?!
I cannot ask the nanny back as during her notice she asked me for a bonus which would have been due 3 months hence and I was very annoyed as I was broke and had given her a full months pay notice even though she last worked in Dec. [/quote]
