[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she's also unhappy to work with the nanny. 
I would have hated that situation.

You need to talk to her, ask her if she's happy.
Sometimes just asking that simple question can make people open up. Ask her what you can do to help her be happy.

From what I've seen for myself, families in Italy are very close knit, her mom has probably done everything for her since she was born and that's why she doesn't clean up after herself.
You need to ask her to do so.
Maybe make her a weekly schedule and remind the basic tasks on it like cleaning up after oneself.

She's also not used to the snow ...

Too bad. This is our arrangement and our nanny has been going out of her way to be accommodating. 
She won’t be working at all if she doesn’t step it up. [/quote]

"Too bad"? It looks like you're not taking any advice into consideration here. Why come and ask for it on this board then?
Put yourself in that young lady's shoes and maybe you will get that it's a pain in the neck to :
a) work for a work out of home mom
b) work with a nanny - the kids must love her and it's tougher for her to bond with your kids since she's not fully in charge.
I'm sure the nanny's nice but it's really not a good arrangement at all. Would YOU be happy to work with someone everyday??[/quote]
