[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is BS.  Winter in DC doesn't really get cold enough to stay indoors.  Dressed properly, kids can be outside for at least an hour, as long as they keep moving, and moving is usually not a problem with a 5-year old and an 8-year old.

OP, I don't know what else to tell you.  Might your nanny be under the impression that what she likes counts? What do you mean she says "I don't like to go outside"?  Who cares what she likes? What if she doesn't like to read? Or give them lunches? Why is she allowed to have preferences on such a basic element of nanny care? I understand if a nanny says, I don't like doing crafts with scissors, I prefer paints, but going outside? Her preferences simply don't matter here.  [/quote]

That's just not true. A nanny has every right to her preferences. However this nanny is going about it wrong. If she doesn't like to go outside, she shouldn't work for a family that has made it abundantly clear that outside time is important to them. There re nannies banging their heads against the wall working for parents that won't let them leave the house. Its all about fit, and nannies and parents alike need to be honest about their needs from the beginning. OP needs a new nanny that fits her family, and this nanny needs to work with young infants and parents who are less concerned with time outside. [/quote]
