[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone. I could use some advice. I have two kids, one baby, one 2.5 year old. Baby is well taken care of so for purposes of this post I will only refer to 2.5 year old. We have a wonderful nanny who cares for her. She doesn’t speak English well but we work past that by communicating heavily via text. My 2.5 year old is a very difficult child. My nanny is a huge pushover. Let’s her do whatever and bribes her with screen time, candy, snacks, etc. I ask her ALL the time not to do this but my daughter is a handful so I get it. She’s taking care of two kids and sometimes the bribes are the only thing that gets my daughter to listen. She’s adores my daughter though and my daughter is crazy for her. My parents keep telling me that nannies aren’t meant to discipline but provide safety and happiness, which our nanny does. I just can’t help but feel like some of my daughters behavioral issues are a result of the nanny. On the weekends we manage her pretty well, although we do or course have some battles. I just wonder if the nanny needs to go despite her loving my daughter dearly. She makes her laugh and my daughter trusts her and their routine. Am I crazy to keep this nanny? Really looking for advice here, not bashing me saying I’m an idiot for keeping her employed. I do fear that I will get a new nanny who my daughter doesn’t love as much and doesn’t listen to either. Maybe my daughter is the issue not the nanny? In an ideal world I would have a nanny who would reprimand my daughter when she’s out of line. My daughter knows she can walk all over our nanny.[/quote]
