[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You already sound like a great employer just by posing this question. :)

Some ideas:
• If within your budget - try to give a nice birthday/holiday gift as well as a good holiday bonus.

• Give Nanny complete autonomy.
[b]Let her plan daily excursions.
[/b]
• No matter how hard it is -> do not micromanage.
Let the Nanny do her job completely.

• Never ever make your Nanny feel like simply “the hired help.”

• Tell the Nanny frequently “thank you” when she walks out the front door.

• No job creep.

• If your child naps - let your Nanny recharge & regroup.
Do not try to stretch out your dollar by requiring your Nanny to perform light household tasks during this time.
Let her eat her lunch, wash any dishes used or pick up any toys played with.

• Most of all, encourage your Nanny’s bond w/your child(ren.)

Wishing you all the best.[/quote]

What if they had thier way there would be no outings? They'd much rather hang out in the family room, inside playing games when we made clear that outside play is an expectation of the job so bundle up  If you don't like the cold, it's not the right position[/quote]
