What makes a nanny good at their job?
eevilcat:
I'm playing in a nice clean, custom neighbourhood so only have one nanny. I don't use her often but when I do she's not particularly good at her job - great with an endless supply of milk but not so hot at nappy changing, bathing and general cleaning. I was wondering what skills/abilities/personality etc I could tweak in order to make a new, improved, shiny nanny. I do run with several mods that affect toddlers/children and am not sure if and how they will affect nanny-sprog interactions. The list is No Baby Harrassment, No Smart Milk Drag, Anti Baby Lecture, Baby Wants Fix, Toddler Potty Fixes, Toddler Play With Toilet Fix and Toddler Toy Death Fix. I always make sure that there are sufficient cots as while nannies are fine with picking up babies from toddler blankets, they don't seem to know where to put them afterwards.

If you want a nanny that doesn't suck, you need Lobonanny with Baby Controller.

If you want this choice position, have a cheery disposition,
rosy cheeks,
no warts,
play games (all sorts).
You must be kind, you must be witty,
very sweet and fairly pretty.
Take us all out and give us treats.
Sing songs.
Bring sweets.
Never be cross or cruel.
Never give us castor oil
or gruel.
Love us as a son and daughter.
And never smell of barley water.
If you won't scold or dominate us,
we will never give you cause to hate us....

I've considered using the baby controller before, but I think it's got just a bit too much control for my playing tastes - I kind of like the chaos factor of not quite knowing what the nanny is going to do next (as long as it includes bathing and cleaning as well as feeding). I've got a very finely tuned approach to baby/toddler care which requires as little adult/teen sibling intervention as possible unless of course baby/toddler interactions are what the adult or teen want. [I also ensure the toddler has at least one adult/teen friend for homework help and mood boosting red hands games on reaching childhood.]
ElfPuddle:
Without baby controller, there are really only two options that I've ever heard of:
1) Potential chaos and misery
2) Micromanagement with a selectable nanny
