[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone! Need advise on a situation we are experiencing with our nanny. A little background: First time mom, no friends have nannies, this has been a huge learning to say the least! I FOR SURE suffer from mom guilt to I really try to pick my battles and not micromanage her out of my own mom guilt.

Our nanny is on the young side ( mid 20's) and has been with us since our LO was about 2 months old and only with us 30 hours or so a week. We asked that she not post our child's pictures on social media or share them with anyone other than DH. She agreed.. cut to last week when she shares a picture of LO with me on snapchat ( i don't mind her sending us snaps since I know the filters are fun and make or cute pictures  but have been explicit about sharing them with others or adding them to her story). I noticed she added the picture to her story and messaged me asking if it was OK she left up.  I text her and reminded her of the no social media posting rule and her response was that she thought it was only relating to pictures with filters - which is a lie because she asked if she could keep it up and i saw that she posted a picture of him on twitter with his face covered. She's very loving to out LO and is a good a nanny but now I feel as if this has eroded my trust.  I worry that if she lies or breaks rules over something like a picture, what else is she doing that could be a huge no go?  Often she has tried to argue her point as to why we should do certain things with the baby even after I've said no ( taking him to non age appropriate activities, changing his formula - she thought he didn't like the taste, bathing him in water with things added bc he was fussy.. just to name a few . I am all for open communication and coaching her ( i know she is not a mind reader and can't assume she will just do things the way i do them, etc) and I've had check ins with her to make sure we are on the same page and that I meeting my end of the agreement as well and she always mentions how much she loves her job but it's now becoming an added layer of stress.

Should I start looking for someone else or continue to try to coach her through this? [/quote]
