[quote=Anonymous]This is not hard to understand. The nanny’s comment was to shut down conversation with you on the topic. Your offer to babysit the nanny’s kid is weird and boundary crossing. She is your employee not a friend.

Maybe her kid has sleep issues and it’s not worth it to have the multi-day fallout from a botched bedtime and sleepless night. That’s why no one watched my youngest until he was 3.

Maybe she doesn’t want you in her home.

Maybe she or her partner were physically or sexually abused as children.

Maybe like me she just thought your offer was weird and she didn’t want to blur the lines between her job and her personal life.

I like to hire babysitters even though my parents will watch my kids any time I ask. When I come home from a date night and the kids are asleep, I want to go to bed with my husband. I don’t want to talk to my mom for 15 min first - “did you have fun? How was dinner? Etc.” The only thing more annoying and awkward would be if I came home to my boss. [/quote]
