[quote=Anonymous]I don't really see a question.  However, I think when seeking a nanny after summer, you need to be upfront:  I need someone who is willing to do xyz; in the past, I've had nannies who refuse to take my son on walks— are you okay with being outdoors? I'd like a nanny who doesn't spend too much time in her phone (perhaps, limiting it to when the child is napping). Set limits for outdoor activities that require admissions— no more than 2 activities a week that cost but I'm sure that wouldn't be an issue with COVID.  Did you have a contract?  If not, write up a contract so the nanny is fully aware of her duties— and be sure to include a termination policy.  I personally, don't have an issue with parents coming down at a specific time to spend time with their kid— this is when I would eat my lunch, take a break or tackle a task I haven't gotten to yet.  But, make sure you're upfront about your plans on 'being hands-on' and if you see that this is becoming an issue (your child starts having meltdowns) then maybe rethink this time.

Due to COVID-19, a lot of nannies are going to be working with parents who are teleworking and outdoor time will definitely become more essential— especially for those who have smaller homes.  Hope you have better luck! [/quote]
