[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny lives in our converted garage apartment.  She “goes home” twenty feet away but keeps her regular nanny hours and has her own kitchen.  She also goes to her daughter’s every weekend otherwise my kids would want to see her and she’s too sweet to say no to them.

I couldn’t have it any other way.  It works for her and it works for us.  [/quote]

You should have taught your children that the nanny's living quarters are off limits to them at all times.  She is not paid to take care of them if off hours.[/quote]

And what if the nanny tells them “you’re always welcome” and “you can come over anytime you like”?  Do I teach my kids that nanny is a liar?  [/quote]

You tell nanny when hired that children are not allowed to visit her in her quarters ever and they are never to call on her on her in off hours.  You are the mother and have
Full responsibility for taking care of your children when nanny is off duty.  She probably goes away on weekends so she can get away from you and your kids.[/quote]

Wrong again.  And our nanny is actually an intelligent adult who can speak for herself.  If she tells the kids they can visit her anytime, I know she means it.

Stop embarrassing yourself by pretending you know something you don’t.  [/quote]
