I have been working for this family for 6 months and when the weather started improving I asked if I could take my charges down to the small park just down the road. I was told no because the parents didn't want me to take the kids anywhere besides walking to preschool and back. They said that it wasn't that they didn't trust me, it was that even they can't watch both kids at the same time by themselves. I thought as the months went by and the little one got older I coils start giving them something to do besides be at home, especially before winter comes and they are stuck inside all day.
Also it is very restricting being a live in nanny working 11 hour days and not being able to leave the house! We do a lot of different things at home but that gets old by the end of the week!
This would have been a good post for the "it doesn't hurt to ask" thread. You were hired with very clear expectations it seems, you know the parents do not wish you to leave the house with their children yet you ask anyways. I find it appalling that posters below are suggesting you confront the parents and shame them, scare them, and accuse them of being negligent just so you can go to a park. What you really should do, OP, is follow your MBs instructions to a T, enjoy your time, and do a good job.
