had a terrible experience with my cl. She was grumbling and complaining non-stop about everything and anything the minute she stepped into the house. She even grumbled about my baby waking up at night, but duh, wasn't she paid to look after the baby at night, and bbs have to wake up at night to feed!
She kept pressuring me to give formula milk, kept telling me i didn't have enuf milk, force fed my dear daughter 150 ml of breast milk when she was only 4 days old when she couldn't soothe the baby cos she had this stupid idea that my milk was too thin and so the baby was always hungry, caused my dear daughter so much pain cos she didn't wake up at night when dear daughter cried.
my dear daughter cried for more than 4 hours straight and refused to drink on days when i couldn't wake up at night to feed her, cos the nanny didn't wake up as well.
and that woman, when she fed my dear daughter ebm through syringe, she actually squirted the milk into her throat, and poor dear daughter was gagging all the way! She prob lied to us and never had any experience with a fully-bf baby before!
Silly husband actually believed the nanny and followed her mthd!!! Now, i still get heartache whenever i think about what happened.
all in all, that stupid woman really messed up my confinement. I couldn't stand her and sent her packing after 6 days, but gave her 1 week's salary.
llcyahoo,
a lot of cls dont't do housework. maybe you can have a face to face interview first? must really tell them your expectations. after delivery, good to have someone else supervise them and correct them on your behalf.
