[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the same OP who wrote the post in the general nanny discussion forum about toddlers and biting in nanny share, in which it became clear that this "third grandmother" nanny is doing a piss poor job of even supervising the children and also has not been proactive or responded well to the parents concerns regarding that issue.

This is also the same OP who wrote in the nanny job advice forum about this situation, stating that she pays said nanny  $150/week and the other family (with 3 kids) pays her $250/week so this poor nanny who is with 3-4 kids at a time is making only $400/week for full time care!

This whole situation is completely insane. The nanny is clearly A) unqualified to care for more than 2 young kids at a time and B) no longer interested in doing a share (can you blame her?). The OP is paying the nanny less than the fees for an unlicensed in home daycare facility, and has said in her posts that she can't afford much more than that. Meanwhile OP is drawing nanny away from the family who she has worked with longer and who pays the majority of her paycheck, because OP wants nanny in her own home for when this possible second baby enters the picture, even though nanny has been clearly hesitant about starting a new share with a new family.

Are you even disclosing to the new share families that the MAIN reason you're leaving the other share is because your child has a biting problem and the nanny was UNABLE to handle it or even communicate effectively with the parents about it??[/quote]

OP here- I do not live in northern VA so the prices are different down here. The main reason for the nanny share was not the biting. I wanted my child engaged in a little bit more structure, activities, transportation and I wanted to work with another parent who shared a similar parenting style and wanted to communicate.  The other mother has been ugly to me. There is a lot more to this situation but ultimately I did my best to be kind, empathetic and try to create a situation that met everyone's needs (the nanny approached me about coming to my home).  I offered to pay for a childcare class. I had in fact talked with the new possible families who still want to work with me.  Long  story short, the nanny told me this morning she does not want to work anymore for my family. The situation seemed like it was getting out of control later in the morning and I felt like it had become a potentially dangerous situation for my child and knowing that she doesn't want to care for him and is so overwhelmed, I came home and got him. I tried to end it without hostility but the nanny became extremely hostile towards me. the other mother thus far has continued being terribly cold to me and refused to admit that her children play a role in the dynamics.  Anyone who thinks my child is some demon child and terrorizes others impacting her mental health does not need to be caring for my child. It's over. It's done. [/quote]

OP, you have some mental issues please see a doctor.[/quote]
