[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arrange for nanny to come in as back up?

Grandma blew it, I need you please.  Then TELL MIL that the nanny is on her way and will take over child care so you can work.[/quote]

Thanks for the input. I honestly don't think this is fair to the nanny. I don't want to give her the day off then suddenly, on a very short notice, have her come to work. Even if I, say, notify her in advance that it may not work out with MIL and temporarily put her "on call", I don't see it as being fair. When you get a day off as an employee, you kinda want to be able to plan your day. If you're "on call", it's hard to plan anything knowing that at any minute, you may need to come to work.

Having experienced bad nannies, we're very fortunate to have found someone we love and DD loves.

Kind of a tangent - but I've worked for jobs that I hated and at my current job, I have to say I have the best boss. I'm a happy employee and look forward to working every day. I want the nanny to feel that way. Happy employees perform better. I don't want to have to make special arrangement for someone just because they're throwing a tantrum. It's not even like her complaints are truly legitimate. It really just springs from jealousy. As an adult, she should learn how to manage her feelings.[/quote]

Op. You sound like an amazing employer! I'm sorry your mil is so crazy. [/quote]
