Honestly the match has to be right for your child and your family (meaning you). It’s really hard when you can’t point to exactly why it’s not a great match and you need to make the decision to find another situation. But I have been where you are. I promise it can better (!!) I had someone , a very nice person, taking care of my children. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t the right fit but it wasn’t. when I finally made the decision to move on, I felt so much relief and have an incredible nanny now. I would trust your gut ❤️
If you’re in nyc dm me. We’re moving unfortunately and our nanny will be available soon. She’s the best! Amazing with my baby and makes my life so much easier.
I also asked her to help plan fun stuff for the baby and shes planned nothing. Its been 3 months of this. I was expecting more from hiring someone for private care (considering it is so expensive compared to daycare)
We were considering private care and got a lot of feedback that while working from home it can actually just be overwhelming to have another adult in the house with you all day. We were nervous to go with daycare but our baby loves it so much! They do a lot of fun things she is literally so excited at drop off. Did you have any tours with any places near you? Sometimes it’s worth talking to them and seeing what it’s like, we liked some more than others for sure, but worth knowing all your options!
I would have a direct convo with her and let her know what your expectations are. But also, I’ve had 3 amazing women nanny for us and all did things that annoyed me at times. I can say the same of my husband. But I had to accept that certain things (like the dirty shoes) I just had to let go. I also encourage ALL new working moms to frame your babies “firsts” as the first with you. You may miss some steps -but it doesn’t make the first time your baby walks to you any less exciting. And, you want the person spending all day with your kid to be fostering the baby’s development and doing age appropriate motor skills work with them - not holding them back so you don’t miss something.
She is overstepping with her comments. Bite back when she comes at you.
I do sometimes but it stresses me out… I told her one time I snapped I had to eat lunch now or I wouldnt get a chance today (while the baby was asleep). Today though she took my baby outside in our back area and had them learning to walk outdoors without even asking and in these slippers not for walking outside. That is the only reason I know because they were all dirty. Like I feel robbed of that moment with my baby and I am so upset. It seems like such a little thing but for me it isn’t.
I would find someone that not only Is great with your baby, but also someone you enjoy basically having as your roommate. I work part of the time at home and love my nanny- she’s so laid back, easygoing and very discreet (doesn’t overstep boundaries).
Or consider daycare. Depends how old your baby is and which you’re most comfortable with.
Sounds like it just isn’t a good fit. Maybe look while you keep the nanny and when you find someone you really connect with (and do a day or two trial with) then let the other one go. My 2 cents
