As a nanny tell me what you want me to do, also as a nanny please don’t come downstairs when I’m there😭

I have a wfh nanny mom and instead of coming downstairs when I 1st started she’d text me about things like that it made it 100x easier!

As a nanny.. I prefer for you to tell me what you want and need. I constantly remind my nanny family. You are the parents you are never over stepping or being too much. Don’t worry about how you will perceived because they are your children.

If you’re paying well you should have exactly what you want. And just directly say it. After a while you won’t care though. You’ll trust her and not obsess over fifteen minute increments.

As a former career nanny, so many families don’t realize that having a nanny means you are an employer! And you need to act like one. It can be so stressful as a nanny to sense someone being uncomfortable in that role for sure. Remember that clear is kind! The clearer you are, the more helpful for a nanny

That's why I HATE working for WFH parents..I would NEVER do it again. Write down the routine and leave her alone for the rest of the shift.

this is why we went with daycare! I didn’t want to have to manage someone like that and have them in my space all day. It’s a perk of daycare I don’t see many ppl talk about!

Maybe a “morning report” style would be helpful. Take 5-15 mins going over how the night before went and expectations for the day when she/they get there and then you can be hands off and know that your plan/expections have been communicated before the day even started.

From a girl who was a nanny for over 20 years. Tell her what you would like. I do advise against requiring paper reports unless it is extremely short.

As a nanny I say this kindly, I understand if it’s her first week and you are trying to give pointers but after that you should be able to trust your Nannie’s judgment on wake windows and not have to micromanage them. Also I’d much rather have my nanny mom text me these things than constantly intervening because it would make me feel like she didn’t trust me. Again, totally not hating just a perspective as a nanny with parents who work from home 🥰

if you wfh do NOT come downstairs!! It sets us back SO bad. Text if you really need to but you’re at work! Act like you would if you were in an actual office

I realized as a nanny of over a decade I want to have a relationship with parents where we are on the same page each week and check in. Love the board with goals to get done or change in child that I missed over the weekend or overnight. Communication is key but not micromanagement and hovering if that makes sense.

I don’t have a nanny but any sitters we’ve ever had, I feel like I just need to be out of the house or I’m going to be micromanaging the 💩 out of stuff 😂

I would personally find this hard to manage as a nanny, especially if the parent was flip flopping on what they wanted me to do daily / weekly. Not that what you’re feeling isn’t understandable, I am like you and would feel similarity now but as a previous nanny, this unfortunately would drive me bonkers.

As a nanny, please tell me what you want. It is ultimately your child! At least for me I will do what I think/what we have already talked about for your child but if things change tell me! I’m more than happy to listen or stretch the wake window in this case

Something that might help that me and my nanny mom did when I worked with a baby is a morning debrief. So if there were things she saw or wanted to try she would tell me about them. If she thought of anything throughout the day she would text me. It was amazing. We were on the same page every morning and there was never any awkwardness in texting. I was also a nanny who directly said I love clear communication so if there is something please tell me, it can even be a preference on the outfit I’m changing her into after her first nap, 5 minutes before she wakes up.

I also hate telling people what to do, honestly why I’m kind of excited for daycare when he turns two because then I won’t have to “manage” it

Honestly I have one family that has a list of what days certain things need to be done and I absolutely love it. I can go back and look and make sure I’m doing all the things. They do a schedule as well. I love it lol. So make a schedule ! It can be a loose one but note what absolutely needs to happen.

it’s good to communicate what you want, but you have to realize you are transitioning out of the time where you were fully in control— trust the caregiver you’ve hired to give care! it’ll be okay and it’ll come with time. You got this!

Madeline negron :
I’ve been there with SAHPs. Expectations and boundaries should be discussed beforehand. If you’re home working in your office, you shouldn’t feel the need to come in every few hours to intervene. Your nanny needs the opportunity to build her own routine and structure for your child’s day without constant interruptions. Of course, if she’s new, showing her the ropes and making your expectations clear makes complete sense. But experienced infant nannies understand wake windows, sleepy cues, consistency, age-appropriate schedules, and how to adjust the day based on the child’s needs. Constantly chiming in can actually make it harder for your nanny to establish the consistency and routine you hired her to provide. At some point, there has to be trust in her experience and judgment.

This reminds me of my nanny mom so much lol I can tell when she's been thinking about something and she tries to ask in a nonchalant way as if it hasn't been on her mind all day😂
