[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny who has worked in your situation many times, I can assure you what you are feeling is completely normal and that you do not have to apologize for a thing my friend!!

That being said, there is really no way for you to approach this delicate situation w/out some awkwardness and offense taken. 
But IF you REALLY want to keep this job and work things out, then it is worth the effort.

Find a time when the toddler is napping and you guys are casually chatting.
Let her know you love your job as well as your charge. Tell her you love coming into work each day and that you really are fortunate to have such a great family to work for. Then let her know that you just aren't sure if working alongside another adult is feasible for you. State that it can be quite challenging at times, such as when your charge does not quite listen to you like he does when his mother is not around, etc.

Hopefully she will be understanding and see your perspective. Ideally she will not be offended and will agree to give you more autonomy in the future.

However if she does get offensive, then I do not see how you both can work out any compromise unless she is willing to back off a bit.

It kinda annoys me that she is not working, yet has to have a full~time nanny by her side all day to "help" care for her child.
She should $ave herself some money and be a parent to her son.

Sorry, I kinda got off topic for a sec. It's just these types of mothers drive me nuts.
Like why have a child if you are only going to delegate the parenting to another person?[/quote]
