[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good employee does their job. Many nannies are terrible employees. They focus first on entertaining themselves and putting forward weak rationalizations for their poor behavior. There is no benefit to a newborn tagging along on nanny play dates or running errands with a nanny. A good employee finds way to make their position valuable. They don't jealously their right to sit on a couch for half the day.

A good nanny is a good employee that knows how to do her job. She understands that she is not the center of the universe. She offers valuable insight to parents but in the end follows their directions because she is the employee not the employer. She takes responsibility for her own actions. She is dependable.

Most nannies are not good employees or good nannies. [/quote]

I'm a nanny and I would agree with the statement that most nannies are not good nannies.   I would never hire about 98% of the nannies I have come across.  I'm not a bitter mommy or nanny. I just know from the experiences I have had over the years with other nannies and how they have treated the children they care for, I would never hire them.  [/quote]
Thing is, 99% of so-called "nannies" aren't nannies at all. They're actually babysitters. That's why you expect them to do whatever to tell them to do, right? An experienced professional nanny isn't afraid to respectly share her wisdom with you. She's a keen observer of your child, and will quickly learn what your child needs for optimal development and longterm success in life.[/quote]
