[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a legit question. Why pay a nanny if you are going to tell her how to do everything? You may as well just hire a babysitter with less experience (and get the bonus of being able to pay her less) and teach her exactly how you want things done. Or you could hire a mothers helper (again you would save money) and you'll be there the whole time [/quote]

We hire experienced nannies because we want someone who will not only keep our children safe and happy but will teach them to grow. Someone who knows how to handle situations properly (including tantrums or emergency situations). I DONT hire experienced nannies to do the job for me. At the end of the day I am the mother and if I want my children to be raised a certain way, or if I want nanny to do something a particular way then I expect her to do it. I don't hire cocky childcare givers who think they know it all. We are not only your managers but your boss and managing / micromanaging are two totally separate things.

Now if it's a stay at home mother who listens in on everything and always has something to say then that's different but there's nothing wrong with a little direction.[/quote]
Thank you for posting. I appreciate your taking the time. It appears that it's important that both the nanny and the parents are essentially on the same page. As e
ach of you discover new details about your children, it's good to share. Solid communication skills are vital. -OP[/quote]
