[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your cousin is coming to visit. If they have a genuine connection, the fact that they'll have a chance to talk again should suffice. There's nothing more for you to do. Let them pursue things quietly if they so choose. I assume your nanny would not want to discuss it with you initially anyway. [/quote]

Another total agreement with this.

These are adults - let them decide how, or whether, to pursue anything.

Don't lose sight of the fact that you are the boss, not a friend, of your nanny.  Don't put her in any uncomfortable situations, don't make any representations on her behalf to your cousin, etc...  Don't get in their way if it happens to turn into something but DO NOT make it your business to matchmake.

If you need a reason to hold back, try to imagine any number of scenarios where the relationship doesn't work out, and then imagine having to still be your nanny's boss through that, manage family dynamics if feelings are hurt, manage any fall-out from having encouraged something that didn't work, trying to walk back into a more professional relationship after having gotten more involved on a personal level with the nanny, etc...

So very many reasons why you should stay out of it.[/quote]
