[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, as an employer of a few different nannies over the last 7 years.

First, if your nanny eliminated diary after telling you numerous times, and you telling her not to eliminate it, she did this with your child's best interests at heart.  Isn't that the kind of nanny you want?

Second, you talk about "trust" like trust is about your nanny following your every command and never showing any sign of judgment on her own.  Like this is how trust is earned.  You are severely misguided on this.  Trust is earned by your nanny putting your child first and foremost.  I trust my nanny with my children not b/c she blindly follows my advice at all times, but b/c she has always shown herself to put my kids first.  Period.  That isn't to say she doesn't do what I ask, but quite frankly, I don't micromanage what she feeds them, etc.

If you want a happy nanny-employer relationship, which is crucial to your child's happiness and wellbeing, you need to let go and TRUST your nanny's judgment, not just that she follows your commands.

A nanny isn't a housekeeper - who you want to clean your house is a certain manner.  And if you treat her as such, and expect as such, you are shortchanging your child.[/quote]

This is obviously a nanny.

Here is what a real employers think. Giving nanny room to work is important for her job satisfaction but clear  communication trumps that. If your nanny willfully kept something from you, it is a big red flag.[/quote]
