[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a retired government lawyer and the spouse of a Big Law partner.  Our three kids are now in college and grad school, but when they were little we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful nanny for 10 years.  We never asked her to join us on vacation, though we did go to a family camp for several summers when they were young.  We've also had a terrific housekeeper for 20 years.  In both cases, we got to know our employees' families and have attended baptisms, weddings and, sadly, funerals for their family members.

Having had good relationships with two long-term family employees, what I find odd about OP's opening statement and her subsequent remarks is that she doesn't seem to trust her nanny or to want to get to know the nanny's family.  Yet, OP leaves her children in the care of her nanny with the expectation that the nanny will guide them, show them kindness, protect them and keep them safe.  Honestly, it kind of blows my mind to think that anyone would have a household employee that they regarded with such little trust and warmth.  [/quote]

THIS right here.  It's clear that OP views the nanny as merely an "employee" and not a trusted member of her family.  Might as well ask the landscaper to come on the trip. [/quote]
