Hoping for some advice from anyone but particularly nannies. I'm a mature and long established nanny, have been lucky to work for lovely families in the past. Currently I look after 2 children aged 8 and 6. The youngest is delightful but the eldest is one of the rudest children I've ever come across, she is particularly rude to me. She is stroppy, loud, refuses to speak to me sometimes, accuses me of taking her things, tells lies, constantly argues and answers back etc. Nothing I do to try and improve things has worked, I actually think she hates me. I've worked so hard at building a relationship with her but it hasn't worked. The parents won't address the problem, they don't see her behaviour as a problem really. Tonight I feel worn out and depressed after another evening of her antics and after almost 3 years I'm considering leaving. The younger child and I are very close so it will be with huge sadness, in every other way it's a great job. I'm simply out of ideas.
