[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha. I'd love to be entertained by you some more, but I'm tired of arguing. I've been in and out of the hospital with this in the past and it's known to mb. she doesn't have a huge problem with it. She just wants toys picked up and out of the way. Who really cares if it's organized when tornado 4 year old comes running through.[/quote]blah blah blah, come again?[/quote]

[b]Boy are you rude.  Do us all a favor and go away. [/b]

-Another nanny with a good back

OP I actually think you should talk casually with your nanny first. For example, ask her on Monday to be sure the diaper genie gets emptied before trash day. Ask her before you leave in the morning to be sure the rooms are tidied up after naps. If she is a great nanny, one reminder will be all it takes to get her back on top of things. If she does it for a week or two and then starts slacking off again, then I think the time is right for a sit-down (and if you've already tried casually reminding her, go straight for a more serious discussion).

If that's the stage that you're at, I think PP gave you some good advice in terms of framing it with how happy you are with her relationship with the kids and how much they enjoy her and so on, and then saying that you've noticed a few things aren't getting done as frequently as they used to and are there any issues or concerns you should know about. If there aren't (and there probably aren't), just tell her you'd appreciate it if she could make sure and prioritize those tasks during nap times or whenever.

As for being late, I can't understand why nannies think it's okay to be late ever without a very legitimate reason and extremely sincere apology - and I'm talking once or twice a year at most. I personally think you should keep that issue separate from her job performance so as not to stress her out during that one conversation, and just tell her that you're really depending on her being there and ready to go at her start time. If she continues to be late regularly, that's grounds for an official warning or a more serious conversation about her time management skills. [/quote]
