What makes a nanny good at their job?
Sagana:
I love using my playables as babysitters. If the kids are sleeping or playing quietly by themselves, they can skill, read a book, whip up some desert or do housework. If the kids need something, they can take care of it. They can help the kids learn skills and read to them, bathe them if they need it. And if I want them to do something ridiculous, I can just quit telling them what to do and they do all the ridiculous stuff sims always do.
It might be a bit cheaty - but it's so realistic to have a playable teen babysit and do their homework or skill up some while the kids are asleep. And eat everything in your fridge :p

But the fake wife who is supposed to be there just to be the nanny has risky woo hoo, and then goes mental.
Sagana:
huh?

You want her more likely to do housework? All my nannies ever want to do is housework! They regularly put a meal in the oven, then stalk all the way across the house to empty a potty, or scrub a sink.
My nannies don't do cleaning at all, and I wish they would. I'm using expensive NPCs, and my sims are basically paying the nanny to sit on her butt and keep the social worker away, and then have to pay for a maid as well (if they want the housework done). I assumed it was lobonanny that stopped my nannies doing any housework.

I have a Servo that I made when OFB first came out who is my playable nanny surrogate. Any time I have a working couple about to spawn I move Rosie Jetson into the house and she takes care of the kid while they're out. She is a family sim with no job, most skills maxed now, and some badges. In the family she's currently in she's acting as gardener as well. When the kid hits Teen Rosie finds her own place again and waits for the next baby. Rosie also has a full complement of child care stuff in her inventory and a variable amount of cash she brings in, which is useful for other reasons.
I really dislike NPC's because they do amazingly dumb things that bother my Sims.
