What makes a nanny good at their job?

But the fake wife who is supposed to be there just to be the nanny has risky woo hoo, and then goes mental.
Yeah, and what happens next, anyway? I still hope there's a dire fate in store for Paris.

My vanilla nannies do an okay job. They're definitely better than my non-directed playable Sims at the diaper changing. (For some reason my regular Sims will almost always opt to bathe a baby who needs changing, which takes longer and still leaves the kid with a full diaper. The nannies opt, correctly, for the changing table.) Now if I can only stop them from feeding the toddlers half a dozen milk bottles all at once.
One of my Family Sims got a three bolt attraction for one of the nannies. Since his lifetime aspiration was to have lots of grandchildren, I thought it made for an amusing dilemma for him, so I married him off to her. They've got one adopted kid, but that's as far as I'm going to go for him. The nanny has tons of cooking points, so at least he'll eat well. I'm thinking the best nannies should probably have high cooking, and for personality high nice and activity points with low fun. (A couple of my Sims got so furious at one of the prankster nannies that I felt obliged to let them fire her.)
BTW, does anybody know of a hack that will have the nanny track the schedules of all the adult Sims in a family? Seems wasteful to have her hanging around for several hours after the first adult gets home from work (or arriving hours before the last adult leaves). I know they can always dismiss her, but best option would have her automatically leave.

The nanny only tracks one sim's schedule, so if you want to go that way your best option is to have the one that leave later schedule the nanny and have the other one send her home after getting off of work. I don't think the game can track more than one schedule to try and figure out what hours there are no teens or adults around.

I am seriously considering making all my couples gleefully childless. :D
;D This is the most sensible option, considering how kludged-together the whole multi-gen design is.

In the Official Guide is written, to track the schedule of the sim that goes to work *earlier*, to make sure that the nanny comes early, and if she doesn't come - the second sim has the time to call her "just for now", and at the end of the working day - to make a new "track schedule".
