[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you aren't being unreasonable. Nannies want to let kids nap as long and late as possible. Less work for them and they don't care if the child is awake all night because its not when they are on the clock. [/quote]

You have a really negative outlook on all nannies. Perhaps this is not the right care choice for you? Not all nannies are as you describe, and Im sorry you have experienced some duds. A good nanny actually enjoys the time she spends with children, and has no desire to try to force a child to sleep all day. Im bored out of my mind during naptime, and can't wait until my charge drops down to 1 nap a day! [/quote]

No I agree with PP.. Most nannies would rather have a longer nap-time on their clock so they can do whatever. Yeah A good nanny might enjoy spending time with kids but you're lying if you're trying to say you'd rather go wake up a sleeping kid then have 'quiet time'[/quote]

Another nanny who disagrees with you. Do I enjoy chocolate?  Yes.  Do I only eat chocolate?  No.  Do I enjoy down time?  Yes.  Do I know that supporting nighttime sleep is vital?  Yes.  If you truly believe that "nannies" (not even "some nannies," just "nannies" in general) are so self-interested and uncaring then I sincerely hope you do not employ one of us.  I love my charges, I understand age-appropriate sleep patterns, and I work to support the sleep habits established by parents, even if it cuts into my "quiet time."  It's called being a good nanny.

To the OP:  how old is your baby?[/quote]
