[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound jealous as hell. You have to decide, do you want to miss out on these things experiences or quit/scale back your job?

I thought this was going to be about a nanny who is gossiping / spreading private info about your family around town. You’re upset she’s setting up play dates and accepting birthday invites…?![/quote]

I don't think that the nanny is actually accepting the invites... OP is just upset that the nanny is told about the party before she is or before/at the same time that the nanny receives the invitation to pass on to the parent.

Nanny here.  I set up and accept play dates for my charges *if* they happen during my hours.  I don't accept anything outside of my hours, and I tell the parent/AP/nanny that my employer will get back to them.

I'm absolutely clear with parents that I do not want play dates set up with random adults for me; I am happy to have play dates at the park where I don't need to interact with the other adult or have both children at my employer's house (drop off, no socialization with the other adult required).  I also set up and accept play dates for my charges with children whose accompanying adult is reasonable; I'm not in the habit of entertaining of adults continually when I need to be supervising my charge.

Frankly, it sounds like jealousy to me.  "Too chatty" implies that the nanny is sharing financial, social and/or medical information about your family.  You have a social nanny who is arranging play dates for your child... that's a good thing...[/quote]
