[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]3 kids under 4, and a single place they can go within walking distance, otherwise they stay home...

Maybe your nanny is depressed? I know if my employers limited my world that way *I* would be reluctant to even get up in the morning.[/quote]

As a MB, this was my first instinct, that she might be depressed by her situation and is not the sort of person to express how she is feeling or try to change things. If you hired someone who is ok with staying close to home with the kids and with being limited to one place outside the home that she can take them, you will have hired someone who is probably not very social or active herself. However, social interaction is healthy and the lack of this might be having an impact, even if she doesn't realise it (not being motivated to at least change your clothes, even if you put on a different pair of PJs, would be a red flag for me ... and what does this say about her personal hygne?). I know my nanny and my kids would be miserable without opportunities to interact with other kids at libraries and playgroups. I made sure to hire someone who is extremely mature and reliable with excellent childcare experience and is a highly competent driver with a clean record, so I trust her to take my kids out in the car and to activities around the city. My kids have never been so well cared for ... but everyone's different.[/quote]
