[quote=Anonymous]Well, then, I suppose it depends on what you think the goals are.  Here's a goal:  I want my children to have healthy eating habits.  So, yes, I will "micromanage" a nanny who insists on feeding my children jelly sandwiches for lunch.

Or, how about this?  My goal is for my children to have appropriate social experiences.  So, when you insist on taking my child on playdates where the children are wildly different ages, I don't know the other family, and the only real reason for the playdate is that you know the other nanny, you had better believe I am going to say you can't take my child until I discuss with the other family whether they are open to this playdate given the huge disparity in ages.  And when you take my kid anyway and tell my kid to lie to me about going there (three year olds are not great at lying under direction), then you had better believe I am going to fire you.

The two nannies I have had with the biggest "don't tell me how to do my job; I'm a professional" attitudes are the two in the examples above.  I fired both of them.

Respect is a two-way street.  The OP needs to learn that.[/quote]
