[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you say something to the nanny?[/quote]

What should/could/would I say?[/quote]

Tell her what you told us about the situation, and that she may get better results with her charge by showing her some compassion. Yes kids can be frustrating, but rarely is it purposeful, and its up to us to understand that they are simply children acting like children. If she is so unhappy with her job/charge she really ought to consider looking for a new one. You could suggest that in a friendly way. [/quote]

I really don't think she would take any advice very well; I expect she'd be extremely defensive and offended (just, from what I know about her personality), but I'll think on this a little and see if there's a way I could comfortably address it with her.

You're absolutely right that she'd be better suited to another job and I have suggested she look elsewhere, particularly when she complains about the parents, but for 6 months she's been saying she's miserable and the girl is a brat and hasn't tried to find another. Honestly, I think she knows she's getting paid more than she's worth (and that she's likely to take a pay cut if she goes to another position) and that's why she stays.[/quote]
