[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most people at your work also have lots of hired help and are pretty well off, then bring your nanny. No one will notice that you have the help there to look after your kids during the picnic.

If your work colleagues are not as wealthy or not likely to have a lot of household employees, then it will come across as very elitist and weird for you to bring your personal household employees to the work event to look after your children. Especially if you are manager or someone where it will look like you are rubbing your wealth in their face.[/quote]

READ the post. Nothing you wrote is even remotely relevant. [/quote]

I did read the post. If everyone else organizing the event has their kids with them while they get it ready, and OP has her nanny - it will feel weird. If they all have nannies to watch the kids while they do the last minute stuff, then no big deal.

We often are at events where adults are getting things together with kids around. I have never seen any one bring hired help to watch their kids. Usually an older kid plays with the younger kids. It would be odd in my circle if one of my colleagues brought household employees but it might be fine in a circle where everyone has that.[/quote]

The nanny would be walking around the zoo with the kids. It would not make sense for the nanny to be shadowing OP while she’s setting up the work event.

Again, per the OP:
9-10am nanny and kids and OP go to the zoo and see animals together 
10-11am OP goes to event area to set up for the picnic (nanny continues walking around the zoo seeing animals with kids) 
11:00 am Nanny drops off the kids with OP at the picnic. 
Nanny leaves

There’s nothing strange about OPs kids being dropped of at the picnic by the nanny. I imagine anyone else who is setting up will have made a similar arrangement with their spouse/family member/babysitter. [/quote]
