[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She liked the easy schedule. You tightened the leash and now she's taking it out on your kids. She's also probably on her phone posting to DCUM about how nannies for billionaires should get paid in a % of capital gains. You can't get her out of there fast enough. [/quote]

Probably true, but this info is not from the last few days. It's older than that. But yes, agree she is unhappy. Time to deal with it.[/quote]

Why are you just hearing about it now?  I would suggest a discussion with the kids, so that they know that this isn't acceptable.  Yes, the nanny is the adult in charge, but they deserve to be treated with respect rather than apathy, and they need to know that.[/quote]

Heard about the phone issues from one of my kids last week, shortly after the other mentioned the videos she watches while nanny folds laundry, and then today rather unsolicited my oldest told me about the "I can't wait to get out of here", "just be quiet", eye rolling, etc.  He also told me he can't wait until I come home most days (not said out of great affection for me, but apparently a lot of angst with her).

Writing this all out and actually seeing it on the page is making me recognize this just isn't good. Aside from not doing her job for part of her time here, she's also just not great with the kids and can be actively disrespectful to them. Ugh, I hate to go through a search for someone new, but my kids deserve better (and, in good news, I wouldn't be paying for idle hours any longer).  I had been thinking a transition would be tough for the kids, but I think it's better than someone who is modeling the behavior I am now hearing a lot more about. Crap. [/quote]
