NANNY/FAMILY MEDIATION CONSULT: $350
Unresolved conflicts between a nanny and the employing family is the number one reason the relationship goes south. The Nanny/Family relationship can be tricky in that the employee/employer boundaries aren’t always clear and even though they are in your home caring for your precious children, they aren’t family. Despite this being the case, many of the conflicts can be solved which may be in the best interest of your children and family!
So before you decide to sever all ties, Let me guide you through this decision making process. I will actively listen to each party and get down to the root of the matter that has caused such frustration and tension. Having an objective observer present will help you to clearly see what the underlying problem is and where both parties are coming from. We will together, re-assess and examine your relationship and then create a plan of action to effectively work towards resolving the issues.
If it turns out that the relationship can’t be saved and it’s in the best interest that the family moves on to finding a new caregiver then we will discuss a plan of action. I will help you through the process of ending the relationship in a way that is respectful to the nanny and considers the emotional needs of your children and family as a whole.
