[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a first time working mother. Our nanny has been with us for about a month. We offer competative pay, vacation, benefits etc... Our nanny seems very sweet but is young (23). Her English is good. We thought things were going well but recetnly discovered she is out at the library, play dates, rec center etc... for 3-5 hours a day. That seems like a lot for a 4 month old. Can you share your expereiences? We also installed a nanny cam last week (which she knows about). She seems to talk on the phone and text alot. I watched what was going on at home today and she was onthe phone off and on for an hour straight. Despite being asked to put the baby in the cirb for naps she lets the baby like on the activity mat. I have discussed some of these issuses with her (not the pohone because I just found out about that) and when I bring things up she tends to be defensive. My gut is saying she is not doing her job. Am I right or am I expecting too much? Please try not to be sarcastic or critical in respondin to this post -- I am guiniely asking for help and opinions. Thanks. [/quote]

we had this issue with our nanny. she was socializing with her own friends (sometimes nannies) or doing paid side jobs, shlepping my kid along. . My kid was missing his naps, meals and sometimes gym classes.

we gave a schedule to the nanny again, reiterated that our kid was the priority - not someone else, had a nursery drop cam that we said we'd check at nap time, and considered this all a Warning. Put whatever else you want in writing, like her job contract. if things get worse, show her the sheets and ask her if she wants to do this job (wave the sheet) or find another job.

the situation improved for us.  good luck, go with your gut. [/quote]
