Am I overreacting?

If someone wanted temp care they would probably ask me, not MB because my MB would leave it up to me. I dont think the friend is wrong to check with Nanny and not you.

How much cash do they pay you for watching their kid on the side?

When I did that, the other mother paid me an extra $15/hr. My employers trusted my judgement, and knew I'd make it a plus for their child.

Did you tell your real boss right away that you were being paid to watch other kid while being paid to care for real boss' children?

Nanny would not have to tell her because I would do so. Why are you putting your nanny in this awkward situation? Have some guts, pick up phone, call friend and tell her that your nanny has her hands full with your children and is unable to help her and in future, do not ask nanny.
