[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it's very clear that something more is going on here. Changing clothes after a Lyft is just bizarre. I can't imagine picking out an outfit to ride to work in and then a second to change right into at work. Millions and millions of people take public transportation to work and it is absolutely not standard to change clothes when you arrive to work.

My guess is that was the straw that broke the camels back here. It sounds like you are a big time micromanager and most career nannies are seeking flexibility and autonomy, but more than that they seek trust and mutual respect. They want working with a family to be a collaborative effort balanced upon the nanny's experience and education and the family's (reasonable) framework.

If you are seeking to micromanage a nanny's personal and professional time, I[b] would target a young college student[/b] who hasn't fully formed their owned childcare routines yet or who don't have enough experience to know any different. Pay them on the higher end of market rate for their experience and they should stick around if you are otherwise nice. [/quote]

College students are students.  They don't work full time as nannies.   A few hours after school or weekends?  Sure--but not M-F 8-6 type hours.[/quote]

Not always. There's plenty of college students that work during the day and take night classes. I was one of them. I nannied 35 hours per week and took night classes for 4 years during college. [/quote]
