My nanny expects to bring her own kids for the summer

She won't be happy to hear this, but it doesn't sound like it's going to work out long-term.

You are right, the dynamic will change w/add'l kids added to the mix.

You have every right to not want any other children in the share.

Wrong answer nanny share nanny. She can have an aunt or grandma watch her kids like all the other nannies with children do.

You need new childcare. Good luck. Call her bluff.

That's why I wouldn't hire a nanny with kids of her own. Just too much trouble. I want someone fresh and stress free. Takin care of a family at home and then coming to work and performing similar duties is too much and then when the nannys kid end up sick they want to bring them to work or have to call in themselves. Nannying is a profession for children free people or people with children that aren't minors.

I'm a nanny myself and once I'm done with school and later start a family there is no way in hell I'm working in this profession and putting others children's needs before my own.

You do realize that this is job discrimination, right? Just thought you should know that before you graduate, get a job, and bring your bright ideas about not hiring people with kids of their own for caregiving professions. You, my dear, are an EEOC suit just waiting to happen.

For the millionth time -- EEOC rules do not apply to employers with fewer than 15 employees. Some states apply some parts of the provision, but you can ask whatever you want, and hire whomever you want, and discriminate on any basis when hiring a single employee.

Straight from the EEOC itself: https://www.eeoc.gov/employers/coverage_private.cfm

Coverage of Business/Private Employers
General Coverage
If a complaint against a business (or some other private employer) involves race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability or genetic information, the business is covered by the laws we enforce if it has 15 or more employees who worked for the employer for at least twenty calendar weeks (in this year or last).
