Feats of child cruelty include repeatedly picking a baby up and putting it back in its crib or on the floor, waking up sleeping babies with music or just to play with them (this is not unique to nannies). A nanny may put a toddler in and out of a high chair and stare blankly at it. A nanny may even make a TV dinner for a toddler, even though a toddler can't eat it, then walk off to pick the toddler up and put them down again. Sometimes, a nanny can do something so silly, that the child/children can be taken away. In ''The Sims 3'', several babysitters have the [[Kleptomaniac]] trait, meaning they could swipe something from a household if unwatched.

Nannies can be also quite glitchy. They can become stuck on lots, multiply or simply refuse to leave even if the van shows up. In this case, the simplest solution is [[moveobjects]] cheat. The nannies are probably so glitchy because they are not meant to be on the active lot as the parents of the children are visiting a community lot.

In ''The Sims 3'', babysitters were known to take the child when they are going away thus making you lose your child. This has now been fixed with the [[The Sims 3/Patch 2|1.2.7 patch]] released in June 2009. There also some babysitters that are not very effective, such as [[Twinbrook]]'s [[Abel Bodey]], who has the [[Dislikes children]] trait, which makes it difficult for him to take care of them. There have been reports of nannies in ''The Sims 2'' walking off with babies,<ref>[http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=333460&c=0&ht=&page=2&pp=25#startcomment "Mod The Sims - The Nanny stole my baby!!!"<!-- Bot Generated Title -->].

*In ''The Sims 2'', nannies will not recognize [[Custom content|custom]] baby/toddler items unless ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' or ''[[The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff|Mansion &amp; Garden Stuff]]'' is installed. However, because of the way potties and changing tables are coded, nannies will still be unable to recognize custom potties and changing tables if ''Apartment Life'' or ''Mansion & Garden Stuff'' are installed.
