we've had our nanny since end of sept. she's the sister of our previous nanny. lovely woman has over 10 years experience.
but we want her to have a bit of common sense. why phone me when they are being difficult and sulky? I can't do anything about it I work over 1hr from home. if they are difficult talk to me about it when I get home.
my dh works 45 mins away but I am point of contact. when I say give them a bath or cook xyz I expect them to be done. she calls him first to moan about the bus being late because of traffic. he is pissed off. ffs what does she want him to do? he wants to tell her to piss off and concentrate on her job but obviously he can't do that. but thinks it
we pay her £1600 approx a month she has take home of £1200 a month for 17.5hrs a week. but she seems to prefer talking to us and doesn't let us get home and take off our coats before talking about how they won't eat so she's cooked 3 meals, refused they have refused a bath. they are 7 and 5 not difficult to get into a bath. she also rarely puts toys out. what do I do I like her I trust her but obviously verbal rules aren't good enough. we do have a contract. so Aibu to expect her to do her job!!!
