[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She may feel stuck and feel like she needs to say yes to the other family in order to keep her job with them.

If I were you I'd talk to the nanny and ask what's going on that she's bringing Jordan every Tuesday and ask how long this is supposed to go on for. If she says "oh, just until the end of May" I'd be okay with it. If she doesn't have an end-date that's soon, I'd ask for the phone number of the other parents or ask her to have them call me and tell them if they want to share my nanny then let's work out a fair nanny share, but right now, they are having her take her attention away from my children who she is scheduled to be watching and that is not acceptable.

I do think it is very inappropriate that your nanny didn't have a serious talk with you about this before it began, or as soon as it was clear it wouldn't be a one time thing, but maybe she is just as uncomfortable broaching the subject as you are? But you are the employer so just ask her straight out how often she will be bringing little Johnny and go from there. Whether it is short-term or long-term, though, you shouldn't be paying her your full rate during times she brings another child (because she is bringing in a full rate for him as well), so either way make sure to talk to the nanny and the other parents about how you'll compensate her during that time.[/quote]
