[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would kindly ask her to correct your daughter each time that she calls her “MaMa.”
It’s not like you should have to explain why.
It just is the right thing to do.

And as the parent, you have the right to know where your child is at ALL times!
She should be sending you a text or at the very least telling you in the morning what her plans are.

You can ask her for these things w/out disrupting your good dynamic if you speak to your Nanny w/a diplomatic tone.

Do not let these things fester or the dynamic will change in a bad way.

Good luck.[/quote]

Op here. I really didn't realize. We live in the Midwest and nannies are not the norm here. I'm planning to talk to her today. Any tips on how to handle this conversation in the best possible way?

I know that I have allowed some things to slide that I should not have, but I really believe our nanny is good overall. It's my fault for not setting limits and being too passive. She is constantly engaging with DD, teaching her songs, dancing, words, etc. The nanny is constantly making foods for DD on her own time and dime and brings them to work because she's convinced they will help DD gain weight, feel better if she's sick, etc. The nanny has included her own family (nanny's mom, aunt, and teenage children) when she's taking care of DD at times, but I really think that's been nice for DD since me and DH have no family. Example-sometimes when nanny is taking care of DD, nanny's mom and 20something daughter tag along to the zoo or park. DD loves all of them. So I know it sounds unprofessional but when it's happening it seems fun for DD.

The biggest issue for me right now is just needing to know where they are in the later afternoon. And I would prefer they limit their time with nanny's friends (even if the friends also have little kids) because DD is only 16 months now and I think too young for play dates.
