[quote=Anonymous]There is no way to say "you told me three times already" in response to something your boss says that won't come off like attitude.

A professional way to approach this would be to schedule a sit-down at some neutral time (not indicator after another reminder occurs) and say "MB, I've noticed that you remind me frequently of things we've gone over many times. It makes me feel like you don't trust me. Can you please help me understanding the reason behind your regular reminders?" Have an adult conversation about it if possible.

Or perhaps instead - "oh yes, I remember we talked about that yesterday. I hope I was able to follow your instructions - was there something I could have done differently?

But also, particularly if you have concluded that it's just her personality, why take it so personally?  It's not meant as any reflection on you if it's just her nature. "Ok, thanks!" Over and over and let it go.

And finally, I'm not saying this is the case with you, but with our one au pair who was really not performing well, I did find myself micromanaging because the few times I didn't up front, she was truly awful. So for me personally, I micromanage when I don't trust my caretaker's common sense and engagement on the job. [/quote]
