[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did that for the parents so that they know what I was getting don’t when the babies were infants. [b]I don’t see anything wrong with it.[/b] [/quote]

Of course you didn't because you are a professional who understands that sometimes employers have requirements that they would like followed, and it doesn't make you a "sitter". Most of the nannies on here want free range to do whatever they want with little to no oversight because they supposedly know what's best for every child (better than the child's parents!), when in reality they just can't or won't take direction. 
In the real world, professionals are held accountable for their work.  [/quote]

Agreed, I see that a lot (on this forum at least). We work as a team and having a schedule so that I don’t forget to clip their nails (or whatever the parents are concerned about) and so that they know what is being accomplished, is perfectly fine with me. [/quote]

Nails and hair go through growth fluctuations just like kids’ height and weight do.  I will never agree to cut nails on a schedule, I do it as needed.[/quote]

Simply something that I would write in our daily calendar so the parents knew it was getting done.  Sometimes new parents need to know that you are attentive and that these random tasks are indeed getting accomplished. But if it were something I was forgetful to check and the baby got a couple scratches, I would indeed put in on a task list to check nails. Not everything needs to be a battle to win. [/quote]

My point was that I won't put in a schedule to cut hair or clip nails in 2 weeks.  I know when it's needed, and I note when it's been done.  Both are totally different from cutting nails back to far because I was told I had to do it on a certain day.[/quote]
