I suspect your neighbor assumes she'll do it before or after work, for compensation.

Ditto.

This. And if nanny doesn't want to do it (assuming she will be payed), then the nanny should say no. I would stay out of it if I were you because your son is friends with the neighbor's son, and this is just a 2 week thing.

This I do not like
People who have no shame on putting others on the spot and pressuring them to do something for them. In some ways I would not like it. Your neighbor is your neighbor and you will have them around longer than your nanny and in some ways this is definitely not an equal relationship.
I would prefer it if the nanny did not have to have anything to do with them.
Ask your nanny to tell them she cannot do it anymore, or tell them yourself.
Your nanny is definitely being used. I wonder why she thinks she can use your nanny like this?
