[quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine has a live in nanny. She is a SAHM and has 3 kids- 2 ES age and one toddler. They spend the entire summer at the beach house which is on a remote lake about an hours drive from a store. The nanny spends the summer there with them. The nanny has been with them for years (maybe 8 years or so?)and is part of the family (according to my friend). While at the beach house she works every day but probably only has 4-5 hours a day where she is responsible for the kids, and often only the toddler as my friend spends most of the day with the kids. The nanny has tons of down time while there (although she can't go anywhere!).

We are going to spend a week with them. We have 2 ES aged kids and 4 year old twin girls. My friend told me that the nanny wouldn't mind at all watching the twins sometimes so we can take the older kids out on the boat, to the beach etc.. Also that she would stay with them while they napped if we wanted to do other things. I said while that sounded great I would want to talk to the nanny to make sure she was okay with it and about compensation. My friend said not to worry that she would mention it to the nanny herself. I am worried though that the nanny will just tell my friend it is fine out of loyalty to her employer

What do you think. Should I just let my friend talk it over with the nanny or should I insist on talking to the nanny myself and creating a separate agreement? I think this would annoy my friend but I don't want to take advantage of the nanny.

we don't have a nanny so I am not sure how these things work.[/quote]
