[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny. If I told my office employer all these things that I'll be needing, they would think I've gone mad. But somehow it's ok for nanny to ask for all of this?

It's not micromanagement. It's my child. My house. My money which I pay in order for nanny to do with children what in my opinion is best. That includes naps, daily activities, food and all other things. If I am in doubt I will ask. But if I don't ask and instead say how I want things done - that means I know what I want, I've spent hours researching, I've talked to the pediatrician, to other moms and came to the conclusion on how I want certain things to be. Telling a parent to mind their own business and let nanny be is unprofessional and unrealistic. [/quote]

It’s not realistic since Covid work is very busy for me so honestly I don’t have time to keep trying to micromanage someone and if that’s that you need to do take care of your kids yourself and let your nanny find a family that would love and respect her.... my nanny has been with me 5 years and I have 2 kids that adore her and my husband and I are fortunate enough to rent out an office space and work so that she and the kids can DEFINITELY still have somewhat of a normal routine..... I get not every family can do this but if you respect her as a person the least you can do is talk and have a serious heart to heart and try to come up with a compromise.[/quote]
