[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't see this as a big deal. I say this as someone who currently employs a nanny, and once worked as a nanny. Here are what I see are the relevant facts; 1. The girls are best friends. 2. the girls are in Kindergarten. 3. nanny has said she is totally fine with this. In terms or driving the girls to gymnastics- nanny is picking them up from the same place, and driving them to the same place. This is not more effort for nanny. Yes- it benefits other mom- but who cares- her getting a benefit doesn't take away from anyone. Plus it benefits society- one less car on the road, in the parking lot at gymnastics, etc. In terms of her contacting nanny directly and asking her to get her daughter, and bring her to your house to play- again who cares. Two girls who are best friends playing together is typically less work than one girl who is restless after school. Its really nice for your daughter as well b/c she gets to play with her friend. I love listening to young elementary schoolers playing together- rich imaginative play. It's so good for them. you could have another conversation with your nanny- make sure again she is okay with this, and tell her to let you know if it becomes a problem and you will take care of it. In terms of some of the weird fears about 'well, will she expect nanny to pick up her daughter if nanny is home with a sick child?" That's not part of this story. That has never happened. This is not hard=== I can't pick up Larla today b/c Joselyn is sick. Or hi Larla's mom- your running late? I'm sorry to hear that, actually i'm not doing school pick up today bc/ Joselyn is home sick. Sure- you could manufacture reasons why your nanny can't do this- or get your daughter in more activities- but why? It seems like that would just be hurting your own daughter.[/quote]
