[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - 
let me clarify a bit; I was trying not to get into too much detail, but this might be helpful.  Her tone is very harsh with them. I believe this to be cultural and also personality, meaning, when I see her get overwhelmed, she tends to scold them, as opposed to firmly telling them and moving on or re-directling their energy.  She doesn't seem to know what to do or how to handle high energy, and tends to lash out and repeat and repeat in a very harsh and scolding way.  This is not a fit for our family.  But, as I am trying to be sensitive to her personality and cultural background or tendencies, I don't want to lay into her.  She has done a fine job; just not the right fit for us, which is why I want to move on, yet be sensitive, but ultimately let her go b/c to us, sensitivity and respect towards the kids is a non-negotiator.

Oh, so yet another MB who should've hired an American instead of a cheap foreign nanny. You get what you pay for in many cases. [/quote]

Utter nonsense.

Our first nanny was foreign-born, legal, warm, loving, and everything great for us for 3 years.  She was too tender and loving to manage preschoolers but loved my kids as tenderly as any grandparent did or does.

Cultural background and parenting norms may play a role in what OP is dealing with, but it is completely false to say that american nannies are any more loving or nurturing simply by virtue of being american.

You really need to stop with your endless fixation on this issue.[/quote]
