[quote=Anonymous]I recently left the nanny position that I held for 5 years. Needless to say I became REALLY attached to the kids over the years. The boys were 2 and 5 months when I started and both are in school full time now. My question is this, what is appropriate when trying to stay in touch with the kids? The parents have made an effort to call me every couple of weeks so I can talk to the kids and plan to do a monthly date night to keep in touch. I was thinking of asking if I could come pick the boys up for an afternoon to do something fun. I obviously don't want or expect to be paid for this. Yet I do want them to still pay me for date nights as I don't work Saturday night for free. How should I bring this up to the parents? I want us to all be clear on when I'm being paid but also don't want to have our relationship be strictly professional. Is there even a way to make something like this work? I've stayed in contact with the first family I was a nanny for but they haven't paid me for watching their son since I stopped being his nanny. So this is entirely new territory for me.[/quote]
