I gave my notice a month ago and am training the replacement they hired this week. She is a very sweet and loving older woman, she is great with the kids, but I worry that it isn't a good job fit. This family demands a LOT of cleaning, I feel they weren't very up front with her about. Basically FT nanny and housekeeper but she was only told about the childcare really. MB also told her she could leave for an hours lunch everyday (grandma lives in house) which is also not feasible at all on top of everything that needs done. New nanny seemed very put off when I showed her the cleaning schedule and lists.

I also think that the new nanny has lied about her experience. She seems to be very inexperienced, she claimed a lot of baby care but seemed uncomfortable changing diapers and clothes, does not understand how to mix formula, how to give baths etc. She has 2 kids of her own so i know she is capable but... These are 3 high needs kids in a high needs family.

They are a good family, and she is a good person, am I being overprotective of my charges? MB has said they will never find someone like me in their budget again, I work very hard and go above and beyond. I feel bad for setting the bar so high, because now the new nanny has big shoes to fill and dozens of extra tasks that I'm not sure she can handle.

MB is texting me asking how I like the new nanny, if I think she'll hold up, etc. I'm worried if I tell her how I feel they will ask me to stay an extra week or two while they find someone else. Do I just let it work itself out, or be upfront with MB about my concerns of how they misadvertised the position expectations?

Thanks fellow nannies!
