[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These nannies are absolutely ridiculous.  First, it is not good for a child to be confined in a care seat for any longer than absolutely necessary.  Second, it is YOUR call where your child goes and not the nanny's call.

Our nanny has complete freedom to take DC anywhere she thinks will be beneficial for DC but she always checks with me first.  Because Nanny understands how unfair it is to have DC strapped in a car seat for too long, she always limits her trips to places/classes/libraries within a few miles.

So the bottom line is that I hired a great, older nanny who I trust - not one of these silly little girls who puts their desires over the health and safety of their charges - so I allow our nanny to take DC anywhere.  [/quote]

Being in the car seat too long is also part of the issue. We want a nanny in part so that our child can be on schedule and nap in her crib, and we will come home to a rested child. A long car ride ensures a lousy car nap, which is something we'll do for a special occasion but we don't want to it be a part of our child's daily life. [/quote]

Then tell them.  Be blunt.  Tell them your expectations.  There is nothing wrong with those expectations.

But you can't get upset that a nanny has her own expectations as well.  They may not line up with yours.  That is ok, move on to someone else who fits with you.[/quote]
