[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has nothing to do with a nanny and everything to do with the parents. It would appear that these parents hired a cheap nanny that cannot successfully set boundaries. Most nannies are much better at setting boundary and expectations compared to the parents. [/quote]

I almost always host play dates, but I always do the first one, so that my charges can be reminded that it doesn’t matter who the new kid is, same rules apply.  I’m a heck of a lot stricter than any other adult around my charges, but I don’t ask for anything that isn’t possible.  Kids will live up or down to your expectations, as long as they are clear and understood.  Most parents love that I take videos of my charges and their friends while playing, and I’m clearly supervising and teaching, since they can hear corrections for language and actions on the video.  It never stops kids coming over, and I get to continue hosting (makes it much easier than driving several kids for drop off and pick up!).[/quote]
