[quote=Anonymous]If my nanny sent me a list of things I needed to buy, I would feel obligated to buy those things so the nanny could entertain the baby with it, even if I did not want it. I would get it, but I might feel the nanny is high needs. In other words, I don't think it is a good idea to do, just to go above and beyond for MB. MB can go on Amazon or parenting magazines and look at best seller lists all by herself.

One thing that I like is clear communication. This could be thinking ahead to what you need to cover when you see MB for 10 minutes at the end of the day. Make the communication clear, maybe order the topics in order of priority, or chronological. Maybe keep a notepad of topics you want to cover so you don't forget, or go all out and keep a log.

There are these pediatrician checklists of children's milestones. Try to get one and check off when the child did what at what month. If not informative, it is good as memorabilia.

Also, keep something similar to baby book. I had one where nanny wrote down three milestones per month with some baby pictures around it. If he is a baby, 3 milestones per month will be enough. When they are older, you can write down clever things they said or did or new experiences they had. Then, it will be a longer list.[/quote]
