[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More abusive nanny employers...then the whine and wonder how they can't keep nannies and they're children are emotional and developmental wrecks. Treat a nanny with respect and your kids will have loving BFFs for years to come, won't have to go through changing care givers every couple months, it's so bad for young children! Most of them don't understand why one goes and a new comes, they think it's because they're not loved!
I'm a very loving nanny and try to explain it to parents, but most parents don't care. You know at the end the parents lose a great nanny, nanny loses her job, kids loose their beloved BFF, and the kids are the ones who lose the most! 
Parents can find a new nanny and nanny can find a new job.
Just think about it. So sad[/quote]

I can't think of one thing that has been mentioned on this thread that could be considered 'abusive.' Talk about dramatic, lady! Relax. We're not talking about sweat shops in Thailand. Per a reputable nanny agency website:

"It’s important to keep in mind that some nannies will only perform duties associated with the care and cleaning of the children and will balk at performing other household duties. [b]Other nannies have no issue with providing services such as meals and cleaning for the remainder of the family.[/b] The most important task at hand is for you as the employer to discuss and clearly outline the duties you expect with your nanny."

So yes, there are some nannies that absolutely will do nothing more than care for the children. Fine. There are many however that will do more and it is NOT abusive. I choose to employ the latter, because I find the overall flexible attitude much more appealing, but to each his own. [/quote]
