We always talk about parents who mistake the nanny for the maid, or those who don’t want to pay properly, but these are not the only types of parents who drive nannies crazy…

Here are 10 other types of parents who drive Nannies crazy:

#1 Those with whom you have to guess what is expected

#2 Those who undo everything the nanny does and undermine the nanny’s authority in front of the children

#3 Those who claim to do everything themselves when in fact it’s the nanny who does everything

#4 Those who watch you all day with cameras

#5 Those who check in too often

#6 Those who work from home and were supposed to “pop in occasionally” and just keep interfering

#7 Those who are jealous of the relationship between the nanny and their children

#8 Those who think nannies are ATMs

#9 Those who have a strict “no phone” policy, but expect you to use your personal phone all day to call them, respond to their texts, send them pictures, place orders, or arrange playdates for their kids, etc.

#10 Those who don’t understand that the nanny cannot predict in advance when they will be sick or when they will have a family emergency

Which of these types of parents annoys you the most?
