Nannies!

Nannies and butlers are a waste of Simoleans, in my opinion. And none of them seem to be very smart nor do they appear to understand the job descriptions that go with their positions. They get fixated on preparing food when the refrigerator is overflowing with leftovers. They stand around looking helpless whenever an infant or toddler needs attention. And I'm with @GalacticGal when it comes to the nannies calling our Sim kids asking if they want to come over. It's creepy and inappropriate behavior. My Sims seldom have a career that requires them to leave their homes. I do this because I grew weary of the grind of working towards promotions. There are so many other ways to make a living in Sims4 there's no need to take on a career. And it helps when my Sims start their families. They can work from home and make sure their offspring get the care and attention they need. In the past when my Sims did have careers, I would create a relative to come and live with the family. Mainly a female relative such as a sister, or a grandmother and grandfather on occasion. Changing the family dynamic in that way led to great storylines and I thoroughly enjoyed playing each and every one of those.
