[quote=Anonymous]OK, so it's always a touchy situation to broach how and when the employer will enter a live-in nanny's personal area.  I've always made sure that the contract read that I have the right to be there if my employer needs to come in to do something, but that's never been an issue.  I've also required that my door will have a working lock at all times, and my employer must have my permission to enter (presumably given after a knock) if I am inside.

So, here's my question.  DB is supposed to be doing bedtime with his DD.  She isn't going to sleep, someone comes over or he gets a business call, doesn't matter what, now he isn't paying attention to her.  I'm already in bed, she asks to crawl in with me.  I'm asleep and she's almost out when dad comes in my room.  Obviously DB trusts me if he leaves his children with me all day.  Why would he feel the need to come in my room without knocking, whether or not his daughter is in there?  I would have understood if he had knocked or asked if he could come in; I would have said no and sent the child out as I was dressed for bed.  I understand wanting her to go to bed in her own bed, but she came to crawl in with me because dad wasn't available and I was already changed and in bed; I don't parade around the house in my nightgown and her room is on another floor, so I would have had to get dressed to go back to her room.

I'm looking for thoughts from both parents and nannies please.[/quote]
