[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation. It was a bad fit and we found someone else. Kids love her and we are thrilled. [/quote]

She sounds lazy (faster to throw stuff away than figure out what to do with it), and like she has very little sense of how to play with a 2-year-old. I also wonder if she still lives at home. If so, she probably has no idea what people do with their money beyond having fun with it, so what's $40 worth of sand.

That said the most wasteful nanny we had was a mother in her 50s. She just thought cleaning up was not her job. Everything went in the trash instead of being put away for later. We also made a change.

We have had two other nannies, and both have been much more reasonable -- they save what can be saved, and throw out what needs throwing out. So, when these two women tell me we've run out of something, I don't think twice about replacing it. If you're sighing heavily every time she says something is gone (or you notice it), there's a problem. By the way, I've never had to have a conversation with anyone other than the first nanny. Everyone else has been not wasteful with the supplies.[/quote]
