[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a good employer, OP, and I am so glad you understand the ramifications of asking your nanny to be responsible for children other than her charges.

Tell your neighbors that you simply are not comfortable asking this of your nanny as she has told you that she doesn't want the responsibility of other children.  Make sure you tell your nanny what you said so you are both on the same page should the neighbor ask the nanny.  Your nanny is paid to care for your children only.

Further, people like your neighbors never get better - if you say yes now the requests for your nanny and favors will only escalate.  [/quote]

OP here, I agree.  I just keep making excuses and hoping they'll get that their requests are inappropriate, but of course they don't.  Fortunately, I haven't said yes even a single time, so there's no opening.  I figured after five times of saying no, they'd stop asking, but it's still happening.  I guess I'll just have to go with honesty.  Thanks PPs.[/quote]
