[quote=Anonymous]We never ask our AP to work when we are at home, and if you read around this board, you’ll see that professional nannies also often refuse to work when parents are home. Your plan to “observe” makes some superficial sense but you’re not really gleaning any information. Your AP and the kids don’t have a relationship or rhythm yet and even if they did, your presence would disrupt it. Put simply, it’s possible that you do have a bad/lazy AP but nothing you know at this point tells you one way or another. Agree with PP that you should have expressly sent her out with the kids to do an activity. The mood when they got home would have given you some hint about how she’s working out but again, they don’t have a relationship yet, so that still wouldn’t be much indication. [/quote]
