[quote=Anonymous]I think that it is wonderful that you have a nanny who is comfortable as well as mature enough to come to you and discuss any issue(s) that she may have with her job, rather than keeping them bottled up inside, then either taking them out on her job performance or simply just walking away altogether. The sheer fact that she can articulate herself to you and be assertive is a very good quality indeed.

That being said, I can see her point. Working a 50-hr workweek even if you are being paid overtime for it, is A LOT and trust me, the last thing you want for your son is a burned out nanny. This would not bode well for either of them.

She is a human being and needs enough time off from her job to relax, spend time with her own family and have her own respite. It's only a natural and normal thing. To deny her this is just not right.

I understand you do not want to find someone else to step in and it is more convenient for you and your husband to keep him with the same caregiver, but you have to take into account that your caregiver cannot keep going like the Energizer Bunny.

For the days that you need to stay late at work, is there any way that you can schedule it so that if you have to stay later, your husband can make it home on time and vice versa?

And on the evenings when you want to socialize after work, I would most definitely hire a babysitter to take over since those are optional events and are of your own choosing.

Good luck. [/quote]
