[quote=Anonymous]She is self employed but to be candid, I don't see how she has a job. I work 9 hour days but she only works 5-6 hours out of the day. The rest of the time she is upstairs trying to talk with me or play with the baby. I don't mind her playing with her child but I have duties to handle when the baby naps. MB will sit there while I get them done and ask me a billion questions. During my lunch break she sits at the table or the room ( open floor plan) and talks with me. I engage because I don't want to be rude but it's getting to me. I can't tell her where to be in her own home but it would be nice to not have to answer a ton of questions. It would be nice to get a little peace of quiet while I at least eat my lunch. I have tried hinting by saying " I have to change the laundry and fold it". As soon as I come back upstairs, it's chatting again. My charge goes down at 5 and I am suppose to leave at 5:30. Most days I don't leave until 5:45 or 6 because MB will come up ( like clockwork) and start chatting with me.

She's a nice woman and I don't mind discussing personal aspects but it's excessive chatting that is getting to me. I will admit that I have a hard time being assertive. I don't even know how to handle this situation because it's her home. I don't feel it's okay for me to tell her where to be in her home. Quite frankly, I don't understand why she needs a FT nanny. It seems to me that she wants a chatting buddy. How do I handle this situation?

I have been here for close to two months. [/quote]
