[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny. If I told my office employer all these things that I'll be needing, they would think I've gone mad. But somehow it's ok for nanny to ask for all of this? It's not micromanagement. It's my child. My house. My money which I pay in order for nanny to do with children what in my opinion is best. That includes naps, daily activities, food and all other things. If I am in doubt I will ask. But if I don't ask and instead say how I want things done - that means I know what I want, I've spent hours researching, I've talked to the pediatrician, to other moms and came to the conclusion on how I want certain things to be. Telling a parent to mind their own business and let nanny be is unprofessional and unrealistic. [/quote] It’s more similar to a teacher than office personnel. Any principal who constantly butts into a classroom will be looking for a new teacher by the end of the year, if not sooner. A certain amount of oversight is expected. Having a higher authority in any out all day confuses children, it doesn’t help. And things like naps, activities, food, discipline, attachment, covid exposure, etc? We talk about those before I’m hired. I don’t work for families unless we’re a match on everything that matters. I do understand that it’s a constantly evolving situation, but I expect to be heard with regard to my perspective of best interest for your child. I don’t expect for my voice to be your sole input, nor do I expect that we would agree on everything. But I do expect to be heard, and I find another family if I’m treated like a random sitter with no experience, no desire to understand your child, and no ability to look at your child and child development in a way that will help you make informed decisions. That’s all these nannies want. We are professionals. We’ve seen many of the situations that arise many times. We’ve done tens and hundreds of hours of research, without or without college courses, so let us share that with you, to lighten your pile. But most of all? Recognize that we know child development, we know your child, and we know when seeing a parent multiple times is helpful vs when it’s causing issues for your child.[/quote] Word [/quote]
