[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your job is first and foremost to implement what parents ask and decide. It's not up to you to push whatever "methods" you feel are best. It's also completely crazy that you talk of disciplining small babies. If parents want them to be held - then that's what they pay for.

When you go to a hair dresser you don't let them do whatever they feel like? You express what you want and then pay money for it.

Exactly the same here. You're a lousy nanny if you don't understand it.[/quote]

A sitter does exactly what you want without question.

A nanny discusses with you.  We bring you the research to show why something is or is not helpful to children at your child’s age and stage.[/quote]

Guess what? Parents are also researching. And making decisions in the context of their family. Having a constant back and forth negotiations with nanny about what to do or what not to do with the baby is tiring and so unnecessary.

Also - note that OP was not trying to discuss or show research to employers. She just wanted to be sneaky about doing what she wants to do, without parents' consent and she is annoyed that she can't because they are at home. She should by all means quit if she finds it untolerable.[/quote]

I agree that just doing what she wants is unacceptable.  But I also know that ftp can get overwhelmed easily with the amount of information available.  It’s easier if I present two opposing views, preferably with a middle ground.  Then, I highlight the pros and cons in terms of their child and family, and they decide.  Rather than it taking hours (and the parents missing something key could to the sheer volume of sites, books, podcasts, videos, etc), it takes all of 15 minutes maximum to pay out all the alternatives and voice my opinion/preference, then they can get back to me when they’ve had a chance to discuss privately.[/quote]
