Btdt moms w/ nannies- I need some advise pls. I'm a wohm & nanny has been w us for almost 1 yr. My 2 dc like her but she has a hard time disciplining them. She tries teaching db new things and is not overbearing at all which I like. Plus, I trust her w my kids & in my house. Problem is that she gets "offended" if I ask her if certain things got done around the house which I really don't do often. She also maintains the house pretty well but blows off things that we've asked her to do weekly. She doesn't cook and has a 2nd weekend job which we told her may be making her too tired for us. Just don't know if my thinking I could do better is legit or if my expectations are too high. Not looking to be flames, just need some constructive help. TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

None of your beeswax what she does on weekends. Working with two children is more than enough. Housework on top is asking a bit much unless both kids are in school all day. [ Reply | More

np: it's still a weird passive-aggressive thing to just not do the work instead of to say upfront you don't think it's part of your job. [ Reply | More

agreed. There should be a clear (preferably written ) job description and regular performance reviews. Start this conversation with her by saying that it seems the two of you have different senses of what her job responsibilities are. Get it clear. Be sure that she has input and you both truly agree with what gets written out and when you'll sit down again. [ Reply | More
