[quote=Anonymous]Seems like a fundamental thing to me that employers and employees must see eye to eye on basic elements of childcare like nutrition, safety issues, discipline, behavior management, desired activity levels, sleep training, etc...

I wouldn't hire (or retain) a nanny who disagreed with my parenting choices - much less one who flagrantly refused to do what I asked.  A nanny shouldn't accept a position where he/she disagrees with the parents.   I would expect an experienced, professional nanny to know how to interview potential employers to avoid the sort of conflict presented in this question.

Bottom line - unless the child is being harmed, the parents are the boss.  You work for them.  You do what you're hired/instructed to do.  If you refuse then you can be fired.  Just like you could be for disobeying orders in any workplace.

Find another position w/ a family whose choices you can support.  You're doing noone a service by staying where you are and working against, rather than with, the parents.[/quote]
