Why Nannies Quit


Finding the right New York nanny for your family is much easier when you use a trusted agency. However, that doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll have a great and long-term relationship. There are various reasons why nannies choose to quit. If you want to ensure that you have a strong and successful relationship with your nanny for the long-term, ensure that you understand these reasons and do your best to avoid these situations.


Poor communication between nanny and parents :-  A good nanny-parent relationship is only possible when there is open and respectful communication between the nanny and the parents. Poor communication can lead to the development of resentment and disappointment. You can encourage good communication by having daily check-ins with the nanny. You may even want to have longer conversations to discuss progress and any changes once a month.

Changing nanny’s responsibilities :-  When you hired the nanny, you probably had a discussion about what her responsibilities would be. Many families also sign a contract with their nannies that outlines their duties. Don’t therefore make the mistake of thinking that you can dump any and all tasks on your nanny. If you want your nanny to take on more responsibilities, it’s important to discuss this with her. It doesn’t matter how big or small these responsibilities are. It’s also important to compensate her for the increased responsibilities.



Changing schedules :-  Your family’s schedule may change as your children grow older, or even based on your job. It’s a big mistake to assume that your nanny should roll with the punches and accept the changes. It’s important to discuss any changes with the nanny. Your nanny was hired to work a set number of hours on specific days of the week. The changes in your schedule will have an impact on her life; especially if she is a live out nanny NYC families have hired to help with raising their children. Ask the nanny how she feels about these changes and find a way to make it work for all of you.

There are many more reasons why nannies quit. Do your best to ensure that you have a professional and respectful relationship with your nanny for long-term success.
