[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading this whole post, and now reading that you were, in fact, the mom of those other posts, I don't think the nanny was reacting to your child. She, and the other mom, are reacting to you.

In the name of trying to accommodate everyone and fix problems, I think you made them worse, and everyone got tired of working with you. You're convinced that your actions are the best possible ones, but I think other people are telling you that they're ultimately difficult and self-serving.

You need to start over, and be prepared to put some distance between yourself and the nanny, and to spell out, in a contract, all of these little details with the other mom. This needs to be more transactional, and less family-like.[/quote]

This.

Start over.  Just start a new share, with a new family and a new nanny and do it all differently this time (clear contracts and guidelines, clear structure to the scope of the job, clarity about current job and possible evolution of adding another baby in a year or more and the compensation increase you'd offer at that time, etc...)[/quote]
