Nanny doesn't care?

It's likely her traits. She might be a lazy sim. I've had one like her, but I've also had one who was awesome with babies and toddlers. Luck of the draw, I suppose.

You can fire a nanny, then next time you hire one you could get a different one -- I think just the friendship bar takes a negative hit. I got a male nanny and other than one of those big ugly beards (which I edited out in Manage Households) he's been awesome.

Lol I hired a nanny to take care of the kids the other day while the parents were out on a date. When they arrived the lot the nanny was there playing violin. I was like "Aren't you supposed to be home taking care of the kids?" :P these bugs (or just lack of programming) are so immersion breaking in my opinion :|

same with me! with all the nannies actually, i've fired MANY because of this.
i had to have my sims come home from work early multiple times to make sure my toddler/infant doesn't get taken away!

daycare from now on

Nannies are very hit and miss. I find the butlers to be much more reliable both with kiddos and gardens. Cleaning and repairing not so much, but that's fine.

This sucks! What's the point of providing services that don't do what they sat on the tin, I'm still waiting for a pizza ordered a month ago! And if daycare is going to be the only option why is there no charge for that? It's the same story with every release, what should have added more to our game is instead let down by sloppy work and oversights on the detail. So frustrating! :s

I think it's just pot luck. My sim hires a really good one.

I actually had the best nanny/manny ever! I had twin boys who were infants and a toddler girl and I needed the help! He was incredible...he actually took great care of my twins and even cooked dinner every night. My lil toddler also loved him and had a great relationship with him. I think it's sort of like real like...luck of the draw. There are great nannies out there in real life, and some really awful nannies as well.

I'm beginning to think that how well a nanny does depends on their traits. I just fired one. I got a message that the baby was hungry but the nanny was focused on helping the child with piano. Great that the nanny was helping the child, but the baby hadn't been fed. Yep, fired him. He wasn't exactly lazy, but I didn't like how he multitasked.

So I hired a new nanny. Now the new nanny, she's not an elder so she can move around a bit faster and she's on top of everything. I tip her everyday too, so I don't know if that helps any. But she multitasks with all three of the kids (baby, toddler, child). To add some drama, the husband had an affair with the nanny, who is now pregnant...so not sure how that will work...if I'll get to keep her as a nanny or not. I hope so, as she's the best I've ever had in game, as far as taking care of multiple kids and being on top of everything.
