[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry. My friend called at 9pm last night saying her toddler kept asking for mine so she wanted to know if they could get together today. I don't see anything wrong with saying sure, my nanny will meet them at the park/zoo/library/whatever at 10am. Rather than disturb my nanny in her off time I just left her a note for when she got in this morning. I didn't think I needed to get her approval or give any warning ahead of time for things like that. [/quote]
My MB would leave me a note asking me to call the mom to let her know if we'd like to get together that day. It's how we have a mutually respectful relationship.[/quote]

But if the kids want to get together, isn't it part of your job as a nanny to facilitate that?  I am all for framing it politely but truthfully I'd be pretty peeved at a nanny who decided not to take my child to see a friend because she wanted to go somewhere else to hang out with her own nanny friends.  I generally let out nanny plan out what she wants for the day but if on occasion I make plans for my kiddo (to see a friend, for a family member to drop by to see kiddo, whatever), I might ask her if she'd mind doing xyz but she'd better have a really good reason if the answer is no.[/quote]
