[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny I would be irritated if I felt I needed to provide you with proof of what I had just told you after 2 years of employment. It would say to me that you don't really trust me.

I am a nanny who works 50 hours/week. I do personal errands while on the clock. Usually it's while the kids are at preschool, and I always ask MB if she happens to need anything from where I am going. Sometimes I take the kids with me to run errands. Just this week we had to swing by the grocery store on the way home from preschool to pick up an ingredient I needed to make my dinner later that evening. Occasionally it's a quick trip to mail something or to the pet store to pick up pet supplies. Heck, the kids even go with me to the dentist twice/year, and they've been on the occasional last minute doctor's visit or vet visit (maybe half dozen times in 3 1/2 years).

MB always knows when I take the kids on personal errands...sometimes beforehand and sometimes after-the-fact. She likes the kids learning that it's not all about them, and that adults have things to take care of as well sometimes. I make sure not to take advantage of this privilege, and it sounds like your nanny is not someone who is taking advantage of such opportunities. She told you about when she saw your look. If you're concerned ask her to clear all personal errands with you ahead of time. [/quote]
