[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP you sound like a gem.  All I'd want from you, if I was your MB, was for you to keep on keeping on without burning out.  My nanny started out like you, but I can tell over time she's gotten less enthusiastic, less interested in doing a fantastic job and more doing a good-enough job.  She's still fine and she loves my little one, but I miss the enormous enthusiasm she used to bring to the job.  What you're doing already is probably pretty exhausting (I only WOH part-time so I know what it is like to spend fun but long days with a child) so make sure to keep yourself recharged so you can keep doing a great job [b]over the long haul[/b].  That is huge.[/quote]

How have you shown your appreciation? I know as time goes on and I don't get recognized for my extra effort, then stop going above and beyond. [/quote]

Lots of positive feedback, a generous bonus + holiday present, always being flexible with her requests when she needs flexibility, and a raise.  Anything more I should be doing?[/quote]

Nope that sounds great. If she's burnt out, encourage her to use her time off, take a personal day, or plan something fun for her and the kids that is a change of pace. If she's at home with a pre-verbal infant, the monotony can certainly take a toll! [/quote]
