Nanny issue / baby with RSV

You’re the mom, you have the say so. She needs to respect that. Testing boundaries is a 🚩. My advice is find her replacement and let her go.

Yeah, push a hard line and tell her no. & let her know she gets paid to follow your parenting style and your boundaries.

Maybe consider finding a new nanny because they should even be questioning or asking you anything outside of what you want.

Shouldn’t **

Why would she want to have a baby with RSV around other babies anyways?? Your child needs to be comfortable at home, resting.

Fellow nanny here. Thats not okay. You respect the parent’s wishes and rules. The child is sick. Some fresh air is one thing. But going to meet friends and be in a public space. Isn’t okay. She’s expose your child to other sickness. When she has a weak immune system as she’s recovering. Yes children love to interact with other children. But at this age they don’t have to socialize. More one on one time helps the development instead of group settings. Ex: tumbling class instead of soccer. I would have a conversation with your nanny. Going on a walk is fine. But please find other activities at home to keep you busy. Sensory bins, sorting, books, stickers, paint. There’s so many activities for this age that isn’t with friends. They are still parallel playing and not really interacting at this age.

Not okay

When you are paying a private individualized childcare provider you make all the rules and she does exactly as you say the way you say it. I was a nanny. You do not have to let her push anything.

You are the mother and your nanny’s boss. If she pushes you against your wishes then it’s time for her to go and find another nanny. I would have zero toleration for that nonsense.
