Can I ask nanny to change her style of childcare?

I think if you choose to use any form of childcare then you have to accept that they may have differnt values and principles than you do.
Also, you do get what you pay for. Employing an inexperienced and unqualified nanny may well bring up problems such as you describe.

But, as others have said, children are extremely adaptable and it is unlikely to affect your child in a way that causes lasting damage. It might cause some damage to the relationship with your nanny, though.
Maybe you could provide her with some literature on your preferred parenting style or send her on a training course. You never know, she might have an epiphany moment, and change her parenting style.

You will be confusing your child as your Nanny will discipline her own children differently to yours.

This should have been thought about especially as your nanny brings her kiddies. Your baby will watch and learn from them SO MUCH, so how would you handle it when all three need disciplining and your child 'gets away with it!'

i agree with oldbeforetime

you have different views and i think eventually this will become a problem esp with discipline

obv a 9mth wont go on the naughty step but time out/naughty step etc is a good way of disciplining an older child and rewards/bribing have their place

I think this is a tricky one - personally may be a bit late to say this now, but for me, one of the key things in choosing those who care for my children, do they have the same ethos as me with regards to discipline, boundaries etc.

I have also extended this to choosing schools etc.

I am the complete opposite to your parenting style, I am strict, and like lots of order with regards to boundaries.

Therefore, (and I don't mean this rudely) but I would not choose someone with your style of parenting to look after my children, by the same token I think you choosing someone with my parenting style would be the wrong decision to make.

Right okay, so you mean in the future not right now!! lol that would be strange seeing a 9mnth old on the naughty step!! lol

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with the naughty step/time out zone. I don't believe it is punishing children, rather teaching them that there are consquences (SP) for their actions. You do also explain when using the naughty step.

But, that aside, if you do not want her using that perticular technique or stlye then quite simply just say it. Of course be nice about it and try not to make a big deal about it. I think esp as that you want your DD brought up to the way you were then you can use that as one of your reasons.

As nannynick as pointed out you will need to explain to her how you would deal with things.

Children adapt quite easily between there being different rules/styles when in the care of different people. Just consider how you as a child probably behaved differently around grandparents, or at school for example.

If you don't want her to use something like "naughty step" then tell her so. Though do tell her how you would deal with situations.

You say your child is quite young now... whilst you may currently be going down a certain style of parenting, you may find that style changes. After all, what if you find that your child does not fit with the style... children are all individuals and thus things need to be tailored to the individual child. What works for one child, won't always work for another, even in the same family.

Can i ask how you discipline your child and what age he/she is?
