[quote=Anonymous]For the most part I have worked for families who were active within their religion so it hasn't been an issue, particularly b/c my religious beliefs were very similar to most of theirs. I have been free to answer questions as they arise.

The family I currently work for is not particularly religious. DB is not fond of organized religion, but MB wants the kids to have background knowledge of Christian beliefs. The kids are in their third year of attendance at a religious-based school. We regularly talk about God, Jesus, and currently everything surrounding the Christian beliefs about Christmas.

At some point early on in most of my jobs I have asked the parents how they would me to handle religious questions. Are you comfortable answering religious questions? Not all nannies are. It's time to ask your employers how they would like you to answer these types of questions in the future. If your employers are ok with you answering the children's questions (and you are comfortable doing so) make sure you know what viewpoints they would like you to answer with.[/quote]
