Having a nanny is a privilege, but let’s be honest—navigating this relationship can be challenging. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, misunderstood, or like you’re constantly re-explaining expectations, you’re not alone. In this episode, Laura and Alex dive deep into the root causes of disconnects between families and their nannies (or other household support partners) and, more importantly, how to turn things around.

The key? Shifting your mindset. Your nanny isn’t just an employee—they’re a support partner, and when you start viewing the relationship as a team effort rather than a hierarchy, everything changes.

💡 What We Cover in This Episode:
✔️ Why lack of communication is at the heart of most issues—and how to fix it.
✔️ The power of PRINT® and Kolbe assessments in understanding working styles and compatibility.
✔️ Household management strategies that mirror successful organizations (because your home should function as smoothly as a well-run company!).
✔️ The small daily habits that can build a respectful, collaborative, and drama-free relationship with your nanny.
✔️ Practical steps to reset and improve the dynamic if things aren’t working.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to building a healthy, functional, and mutually respectful partnership with your nanny—one that makes your home a place of calm, connection, and efficiency, instead of frustration.
