Advice needed please - i've got a full time (very expensive) nanny looking after one ds 3 (another one on the way)- I work full time. He currently goes to nursery three afternoons a week and will go five mornings come January. Nanny is ok - she will do anything I ask, but that's the point, I have to ask, she doesn't seem to have any initiative herself.
I feel it's a bit of a waste of money to pay her full time when she sits on the sofa watching tv for half the day and then i come home from work and have to do laundry, ironing etc.(She did offer to do a basket of ironing for me once, but wanted a tenner for it, on top of the £75 I already pay her per day !) Can you get nannies that will do cleaning and ironing etc or do they all throw their hands up in horror at the thought of doing housework ! I currently also have a cleaner who comes one afternoon a week and isn't that good either. It feels that i'm paying out loads of money and not getting what i want done.
I guess I wouldn't mind so much if i thought she was a brilliant nanny, but i think she's pretty average. Or should i keep hold of her, given that i've got another on the way. Can't decide and grateful for any advice or suggestions.
