[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh...in my neighborhood (7 houses) it's extremely common for us to use the same gardeners, landscapers, house cleaners , contractors, etc.  If someone is able to negotiate a better rate , that's on them.

Now the fact that your neighbor is being aggressive and making your nanny uncomfortable is not ok.  But your nanny is adult, she needs to be clear with the neighbor she's.not interested and to stop asking.  There should be no reason this is an ongoing thing unless your nanny has problems standing up for herself.  [/quote]

OP here- Oh really? Is that what you would tell someone who's being sexually harassed at work? That she should do a better job of standing up for herself and "Thanks, I'm really busy but will ask my friends to see if they have any availability for you" doesn't suffice because crazy neighbor is bent on getting my Nanny, not her friends?  I'm her employer and take pride in making an enjoyable work environment for her- that includes looking out for her (did I mention she's 24 years old- not someone who feels completely comfortable standing up to 40something yr old housewives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in DC??" I really don't understand how my sense of extreme care and trying to look out for someone is young & impressionable is seen as wrong and that I should "lay off".
You are the kind of women who don't help other women. [/quote]
