[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you could arrange for a local teenager/college student to get your child out to the park for a few hours every week? Make it a standing appointment so they can rely on the cash even if it's very few hours. As far as I understand your nanny doesn't mind going to certain places, so just make a schedule of where and when she goes with your kid and supplement with the couple of hours of park/playground time with the extra babysitter. That is, of course, if you're willing to pay a little more to keep your by the looks of it otherwise perfect nanny - after all no bee season is much longer than the bee season.[/quote] God some of you people will bend over backwards for people that just don't deserve it. This is just like the pregnancy issue, the family is the one hiring, they are providing the job, and they require the benefit. They owe you nothing beyond money after you've done the work. If you plan to get pregnant you should not be a nanny as it is a massive inconvenience and issue for the families. Same thing with a bee allergy that prevents you from going outside to play. She may have been a great nanny up until this point, but at this time she is a terrible nanny and needs to be let go so she can pursue a career in a different field.[/quote] Look, op wanted suggestions on how to make this work without having to fire her nanny. That's what people are giving her. The responsibility isn't entirely on op, but I think it's commendable that she's trying to meet her nanny half way. If the nanny then refuses to move the other half, then yes I think it's time to find someone new. But there are solutions to problems other than just "fire her!" And I think it's nice to try those first. [/quote]
