[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two kinds of nannies:  the first is the nanny who is a teacher and the second is the housekeeper who babysits.

Which one do you have, OP?  In different families, I can see a need for either type of nanny.

I decided, before my children were born, that I wanted a teacher/nanny.  Nanny has always engaged my children from the time they born.  She has projects, classes, lessons, reading time and free play worked into every single day and I give her free-reign.  Nanny does the children's laundry, grocery shopping for the children (and sometimes for us), keeps their closets organized and packs away out grown clothing, and has the kids put away their toys before she leaves for the day - but no other household chores.

I think it is important when hiring to decide which kind of nanny you want and not expect that you will get both.  There simply are not enough hours in the day.  [/quote]

You’re forgetting the other kind of nanny: the one that doesn’t educate the kids at all, but reads DCUM so feels entitled to do zero housework and charge over $20 an hour. Sees her job as keeping kids alive while she keeps up with her Facebook, and occasionally chauffeuring kids to some expensive activities that the parents must pay for.[/quote]

What you are describing is simply a bad nanny.  There are people in every occupation who are simply bad at their jobs.  If you are the idiot who hired and keeps the bad employee on -that is on you.  [/quote]
