Nanny doesn't care?

Guess I've been lucky...all my Nannies have been fantastic.
in fact several times the Nanny has either dropped by or called on the kids birthdays.
Don't know if that's coincidence or not....but it's happened enough times for me to take note of it.

Pretty much my Nanny. Infact, he seems like my whole neighborhoods' nanny :lol: . He seems rather professional like all the time lol. The first thing he does the moment he walks in the house is make a huge plate of food (always veggie safe!). He does sit down for t.v, but the moment a child asks for something, he's on it immediately. I almost always tip him, cause he's really good at what he does (one family almost became broke :lol:).

But he doesn't stop there, whether it's birthday parties, weddings, etc. he's always there. One time, since he did such an amazing job helping out with the kids, I invited him to one of my sims wedding. It was a good call too, because even though he was off duty, he went right over to the shy toddler who didn't know anyone at the party. But she was sooo happy to see him! and she pretty much talked to him all through the party.

@Dreamie209 wow, your nanny makes vegetarian-friendly food? Most of the kids in my sim family are vegetarian, but the nanny always makes hot dogs, chili and other things they can't eat! She also does seem to spend more time watching TV than taking care of the toddlers. One time I had the nanny over while the parents were sleeping, and she came and watched TV in their bedroom!

Sounds like we need to fire the nanny...

@Uzone27 that is the saddest, most beautiful nanny story ever!!

A monster spraying ghost nanny....doesn't get any better than that!

when I had a single sim with 7 toddlers, the nanny was great, he made a family meal, then potty trained and bathed the toddlers, he worked for two solid days without leaving, or sleeping. he then went away for a sim day and was back the next without being called, he was great, cleaning, cooking bathing and finally helping with blocks and playing.

My nannies are always super helpful, feeding the baby and potty training the toddler. But also, every time I get one, they're sometimes in weird moods. I've actually had one destroy my dollhouse. (fired him on the spot) When I came home and fired it, it called wanting to come to my house. It doesn't help all of my nannies are always sketchy old men. :)

I used a Nanny once... She ignored my child, started cooking, stopped cooking, and thus set the kitchen on fire. She then demanded I pay her! I'm never hiring one again.

For those of you who don't have City Living, or haven't watched City Living gameplay, your sim(s) can go into their neighborhood like outside and back to their apartment without a loading screen. I hired a nanny for my toddler and he took my toddler outside of the apartment building, sat her down, and left her and went back in the apartment.

I seem to only have the option of two different nannies (I fire one, the other one can be hired, and vice versa). Both of them ignore the babies, and I have lost two babies to social services WHILE THE NANNY WAS ON DUTY. This didn't used to be a problem, but now it's huge.

Daycare all the way in my households. When I first got the game I hired one (she is still alive in my game AND the only nanny) but she NEVER stayed the whole time my Sims were at work. My Sims were both in the Gaming career and I guess their workday ended after 4 o'clock or so but she always left before either of the parents came home and the kid was sent to daycare in the interrim. But always took her payment.

I did hire her on occasion in the city for Zoe and her live-in alien boyfriend. Mostly when the boyfriend just wanted to go outside onto the intersection to socialize (but wanted to keep the kid upstairs) but the price of the nanny wasn't worth it with only one parent working.
