[quote=Anonymous]Live-in nanny here.  In your situation, I would tell the parents that I'm willing to stay with a couple conditions.

No special needs:
1. They need to leave for a week, no contact with the kids.  They're welcome to watch cameras and contact me while the kids are asleep.  But there will be no undermining of my authority with the children while I do a reset on their behavior.
2. The children and I will write out a list of rules, incentives and disincentives.  The parents have no say whatsoever in any of that.  The parents will not undermine any of the three lists (not enforcing rules, providing incentives without being earned, not enforcing disincentives) or I will be gone.
3. The children and I will talk to the parents at the end of the first week, and we will determine whether the parents need to stay away for a second week.

Special needs:
1. I need to see the diagnosis paperwork, all IEP/504 information, and talk to the teachers and staff.  Either the problems at home bridge to school, in which case we need a unified way to start teaching the child to cope, or the problem only exists at home because the child knows that the school won't tolerate the behavior, in which case the child is capable and choosing not to behave (handle as with no special needs).
2. Liaise with the teachers daily to find the best ways to help the child.[/quote]
