Nanny doesn't care?

Hmm...I've never used a Nanny for a infant. So that is rather strange. I know for toddlers, the nanny does indeed only need to do is cook and can ask the Nanny for things if needed. Since our little ones can pretty much do everything else on their own. However maybe EA figured that that we wouldn't need a Nanny for infants and assumed we'd put them in daycare, compared to the toddlers since most might want to continue working on skills while mom and dad are gone.

This is interesting, I might try this for the next generation of future infant sims in my game.

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.

ooh! I didn't think of that. That could highly be the case.

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.

It would be kinda cool if you hired a nanny and temporarily they were in the household so you could control them to do their jobs and then once the parents are back they're removed from the household, take their fee, and leave.
