[quote=Anonymous]Hi all! The family I currently work is fairly close to separating, if not divorcing. The parents have been pretty open with me about the fact that they are having issues, trying to resolve it, and needing some time apart temporarily, if not permanent. It hasn't been like, we don't care what we do in front of you, more so that they wanted me to know what is going on so if something came up, it wouldn't be such a shock to me.

The parents have been great a not fighting in front of the kids, and if any time they have had a heated moment, they've try to do their best not to have it in front of me, or they give me a clue so I can do my best to remove the kids or distract them. Honestly, it hasn't really affected my job at all. My parents divorced when I very young, so I'm glad I'm able to understand, sympathize or help out in what little ways I can.

Basically I'm asking for any tips or advice you may have from those who worked with a family while the parents were divorcing, or after their divorce. I keep thinking to my own parents divorce and worry I'm trying to be too helpful and may subconsciously pick a side. I try to be a very neutral player and respect them in this time, as I feel they have given me nothing but respect as an employee. They've welcomed me so much in to their own. As I nanny, I feel I end up learning a lot about my employer's personal life, so I try to respect what information I know and give them as much privacy when it comes to the little information they are able to not have slip out.

Anything you can suggest would be fantastic! Thanks! [/quote]
