[quote=Anonymous]Reading the Pp. Are you OP? I am a nanny and I think those schedules, food habits etc.. are normal to me. Since I will respect and collaborate with parents with those things that it's important to them and mainly for the kid's well-being. I could say that when someone that in the past I quit a Nanny position; whe parents were the most terrible employers; the worst position ever. Micromanaging me all the time and every minute on my back. Some examples: 1. Did you wipe her pretty well when you change her diaper? 2. Did you make sure she read at least 8 books a day? 3. It's been an hour when you left; where are you guys? 5. How many times she was on tummy time today? 6. Usually how many times do you wash your hands on the day? 7. We say to her "good night Katie" Instead "sweet dreams cute little katie" 8. Did she play a lot at the playground with her friends? Was she engage. and active enough with you today? 5. Can you put her down more time on the baby matt instead of reading. 15 minutes in a row, the pediatrician say, she needs to engage more in the mat 16. Can you see me a pic to make sure is she and how is she napping in the stroller? 18. Can you make sure to wipe the fridge handle with clorox wipes; to make sure it's not dirty, everytime you open it and close it? 19. Can you try to sing to her more; an with a higher voice so she can really hear more, engage better with the song; so she can laugh more? 20. Just make sure to be talking to the baby more; everytime when you can and are with her? 21. Besides how many poops she had today; were those small or bigger? What color? 22. She likes her sandwich cut in triangles than cut in squares; so she can eat it better 23. How many words she learn these week? 24. If would be nice if you teach the color, shapes, etc; with the food; while you are cutting a veggie, or pointing out what color is the banana? 25. Could you just leave the monitor ON all day; there is not need turn it off when Katie is awake. So we like to hear her from her, all day when she is in her room with you or basement playing 26. When days are awful; lots of rain, snow, 100 degrees summer days, horrible winds, etc. They commented: "awww too bad, poor Katie, she is going to be here stuck in the house without any fun thing to do outside, poor little thing, but you guys could go out at least a little bit" 27. Ohhh those socks doesn't match with her dress all today 28. Could you make sure she eat only with the fork and no with the spoon; as those are green beans 29. Can you lay down with her more on tummy time; we do that with her, so she will cry, If you don't do it 30. When you hit up the breast milk bottle; could you make sure not shaking it even a bit; be very careful bcs it's not good enough if you shake it; I noticed the other day you did it this way 31. I noticed the other day; you have been changing her clothes in the morning; did she get dirty so early or did you just wanted to change her outfit 33. In a winter day: "Just make sure she is warm enough, winter jacket, winter hat, cozy boots, so she doesn't get sick". Which it's Common sense for every single nanny to know this 35. When there is only 1 banana left in their kitchen. And baby/toddler had it for snack or lunch. "Did Katie eat the whole the banana today"? 36. Just make sure to refill diapers, creams etc in the diaper bag. 37. When baby start napping more than an hour and you are taking your time for relaxing or lunch and are scrolling your phone. So, ohhh I'm surprised Katie is sleeping more than usual... 38. Ohh she still have food around her mouth; can you make sure wipe her well everytime after she eats? 39. Is she ok? We heard she is crying so much today (crying maybe 5 3 min, when she is super tired trying to nap) This list goes and goes. THE WORST PARENTS EVER. I QUIT in the third week. [/quote]
