[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP, and it’s a tale as old as time.  Housekeepers resent playing second fiddle to nannies.  The posters spouting off accusations have no clue what it’s like in wealthier homes.  My current employers has a full time housekeeper who I luckily love!  But it’s not always the way it goes.

Write a schedule every week of when the baby naps and when the housekeeper needs to be in another part of the house.  Translate it.  Also write out that you need her to tell you when she’s low on supplies.

As for her looking past your 3 yr old and cooing over the baby, keep both away from the housekeeper. Explain to the three year old that she’s busy and doesn’t speak English well.

Bottom line:  you don’t have to like each other but she has to know that the children come first.  You know this is what your employers want and it’s what’s best for the children.  [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I’ve heard stories from other nannies about difficult relationships with housekeepers but never experienced it.

I will definitely write out the baby’s nap schedule and translate it.

Thanks! [/quote]
