[quote=Anonymous]MB here - we've done this w/ our nanny, though we took her out to dinner with us one time.  And since then she's hung around for dinner a few times in the evening, etc...

It's nice for all of us - we get some more relaxed time w/ her to get to know her.  She gets to see us w/ the kids and the bedtime routine etc... (so she knows our style) and we also get a chance to talk more at length about next steps/milestones/goals for the babies, etc...

It wouldn't work with every situation certainly, I would totally respect a nanny who wanted to maintain more separation, didn't want to spend any extra time hanging around w/ her employers, etc...  But it has been a great thing for us.  I certainly think it can't hurt to ask.  If she's not interested that's fine also, and you can find a different way to learn her interests, what she'd appreciate, etc...

In my experience the parents and nannies that go into this with your approach are likely to be the ones most happy with the relationship.[/quote]
