[quote=Anonymous]So sorry this is happening OP. It’s never great to lose a Nanny - especially w/zero notice. :( However you have said that she is your third Nanny in five yrs. Could you possibly be doing something that is making the position more challenging than other positions?? You may be doing things that you are unaware of that may make your Nannies quit. There are many reasons why the majority of Nannies do not like working in a home where one or more parent telecommutes. These situations can work fine if ALL boundaries are respected > mostly on the employer’s side. It is always best if the parent can work in a separate part of the house, ideally far from where the Nanny + the kids will be. It is also a good idea if the parent concentrates 100% on their work - and to make rare trips into the area(s) where the Nanny & kids are hanging out. Bottom line: The Nanny needs to have full autonomy in order to do her best work. ……………………………………. I think some of your now former Nanny’s complaints are off however. For example, saying your kids are “loud.” Kids are loud. It should automatically come w/the territory in my opinion. Unless of course your children are particularly rambunctious or have issues being told what to do. And also that she has to clean three poopy diapers a day??! Isn’t that what a Nanny signs up for???? Anyway, it doesn’t appear to be a suitable fit so I can only wish you the best in your search for a well-suited Nanny for your family. Good luck![/quote]
