[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP but you sound completely clueless. Your 'great' nanny is actually a really bad nanny. It's just basic childcare to put babies on a schedule and introduce solids. Everything else she is doing would get her fired by most families.

She's out an about after 12:30? When is the afternoon nap happening? When she's being overstimulated with th pigs and nannys friends and family? Sleep is important for brain development. Why isn't nanny planning play dates with kids your child's age? Why isn't she taking her to classes instead of going to visit her family every day? Of course in front of you she is singing and reading- do you think this continues when she's off visiting friends? Get a clue. [/quote]

Op here. DD will only take a morning nap. This really isn't the nanny's fault-we've tried moving it to the afternoon (I myself have worked on this on weekends and time off, the nap happens in the morning or not at all). It just doesn't work. DD sleeps from about 10:30-12 or 12:30.

I know I haven't handled this the best but I do work from home so I'm seeing/hearing/aware of what's happening from 7/8 am until 12:30 when they leave for the afternoon. She's extremely engaged when they are here, I can hear them from where in working and I pop in and out.

Anyway I just spoke to her using some of the language suggested by a PP. I think it went well. I printed out a list of classes for next week I'd like them to try out. The problem is the classes all conflict with nap time, except for one I found at 3. We've got to figure out how to push morning nap back. I told her we need to know where they are at all times and that I only want them to go to places and be with people I have met.

I know I've been too passive but I have tried to do things to just sort of check on the situation (i.e.-I've popped in on them at her house on short notice and ususally go there at least once a week to drop off treats and say hi to everyone and pick up DD).

To a pp-abuse really scares me too. [/quote]
