[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi parents and nannies,

I need some advice on our nanny who is fairly moody.

She's been with our little one since she was an infant, my LO is a toddler now. She is good with her, my LO generally likes her, and she is safe. She handles her laundry and dishes and toy cleanup. 
She has a good per hour rate for our area, this includes the $2/year annual raise we gave her plus 2 weeks PTO, a few sick days PTO, X-mas and b-day bonus, paid days when we decide to go on vacation and paid snow days.

She often comes in once or twice a week in a bad mood. Doesn't want to listen to weekend updates about my toddler, snaps at me about weird unimportant things. 
It's getting to be a drag because it ruins my mood and I feel my toddler is picking up on her bad mood and suddenly starts acting fussy. I am expecting again and she wanted to stay on but I'm wondering how to address this. I've done check ins with her and she says everything is fine and then addresses a few things she would like for us to do as parents and we always comply.

Thanks for your advice ahead of time. [/quote]

Are you leaving her a mess of dishes, laundry and a messy child’s room on Mondays?

I am a nanny who dreaded Mondays with my former position because there would be no milk or food for my charge’s lunch, dirty clothes all over the floors of the bedroom and bathroom - sometimes the mother’s underwear and clothes,  dishes all over the counter and sink, every book they read over the weekend on the floor along with every toy the child played with.  It was oppressive and so difficult to hit the ground running on a Monday morning.

Have an open discussion with your child’s nanny and see what is going on.  [/quote]
