[quote=Anonymous]In what ways are your employers non-communicative? Do they give you a chance to give them a re-cap of the day? Do you keep a log of the day's activities for the baby? If so they may not feel the need to receive an oral review on top of the written log. If you don't keep a log and want an opportunity to let them know how the day went you could certainly address that at your review. Something along the lines of, "I know things can get hectic at transition time and you're eager to spend time with the baby after being at work all day, but I want to make sure we're communicating about his/her day. Do you have any ideas on an efficient way to do so?"

As far as the b-day party is concerned I wouldn't bring it up. Not all nannies are invited to their charge's parties. While it's nice to be included it's not a given, and some families really value the employer/employee boundaries. For your employers it sounds like once they got into the working relationship they realized that they preferred a more professional one.

I do think that there might be a mismatch in your working relationship with your employers. You want a different type of working relationship than they do, and it's causing issues on your end. You can't ask them to change how they view the relationship or the type of relationship they forge with you. What you can change is your thoughts on your job or your job itself. Good luck.[/quote]
