[quote=Anonymous]Thanks.  OP here.  The problem is, that some people think because the nanny is a certain background, she will not say no.  I suppose they are stereotyping.  In reality, she is nice and sees them often, so does not want to say no because of it.  But this makes it very awkward in the long run.  She was hoping the parents would get the hint.

I have told them straight out that she is NOT available for anyone else as a nanny, sitter, backup or anything else they want to call it.  She has a full time job that pays benefits and has no reason to be here other than that we are good to her.  Thats it. Easy. She is not interested, even if you are, or think you are, the Queen of England!

I happen to know that the other moms are cheap and would not pay what we do.  It is as if they are using her, thinking she won't say no when push comes to shove.  My nanny has started avoiding them, as she does not want to deal with them any more.  They are too much!

They are so insistent.  Do we have to threaten them for them to stay away and MYOB?  Ask them what the word "no" means to them?

I would not dream of approaching their nanny, even though we have NO family in the area.  BTW, these are the same people who have family living WITH them!  Really??!!

Why do some people have such huge and disturbing lack of boundaries?
