[quote=Anonymous]We've been working with her for about 8 months. DD loves her, we love her. I feel like she came in and saved us when we first hired her-DD was 8 months old and not on any kind of schedule (still waking 6-8 times/night). The nanny got DD on an eating and sleeping schedule and got her sleeping through the night. I remember when the nanny would show up in the beginning I would think "the calvary has arrived!". We just had no idea what we were doing and she literally saved us.

But there's a few things she does that bug me but I try to let them go because the dynamic in our relationship is more like she's teaching us as much as she's caring for DD. I'm afraid if I start getting on her, the dynamic shift and she won't be as happy.

Examples:
-she takes DD out and doesn't necessarily give me the play by play about where they are going. Usually they go to her house for lunch, which is only blocks away. DD loves this because nanny lives with her elderly mom, who has become an unofficial grandma to DD. This is great. But then after lunch I think they visit different friends of hers that live in the area but I haven't met them. I just feel a little nervous and asked her to let me know where they are but she kinda just doesn't and I don't make a big deal of it.

-she lets DD call her mama and doesn't correct her

-she bought DD a Halloween costume. I kinda don't like it but now I feel bound to it. I wanted to choose her costume :(

I want to keep our nanny happy and I think freedom is one of the most valued features in nanny jobs. But sometimes I'm not sure if I'm being too passive? [/quote]
