I'm 13:56 and I fully agree with you 100%.  I think I'm just lacking the word to describe what I meant when I used the term "professional job".  Like I said before, I do consider myself a professional.  I was talking more about the image of a "professional job"  (getting all dressed up, altering your personality, and having clear(er) expectations on how to go about your job). My fiance works in this type of environment and there is a drastic difference to how we both go about fulfilling our roles at work. The day he accepted the position he knew how to act and how to handle almost every situation that would come up, whereas I use my common sense and experience to deal with what comes up.

My main point in my first post was that it's harder [i]at times[/i] to know what to do in certain situations because of how personal and this job can be.  What may be fine with one MB is a firing offence to another.  So while I fully agree that :::some::: nannies need to strive to better present themselves as a "professional nanny", I also understand where nannies just starting out may have questions that the answers seem obvious to the rest of us.[/quote]

I completely agree! I wish everyone would respond this maturely. If a questions seems obviously wrong to some people there is no need to saying, "Wow you're a terrible nanny" or anything like that. It's fine to respond "Well I wouldn't lay out while watching kids swim/have people over/do laundry at my employer's house because of a), b), or c). There's no need to be rude or make the OPs of those threads feel like terrible nannies for simply asking a question.[/quote]
