[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nanny got talking with another mom at the playground (whose child is in my daughters preschool class) and learned that the mother was not happy with their aftercare situation. I personally do not know this mother as they are a new family in the class this year. My nanny exchanged numbers with this mother, and now she has been asking my nanny to pick her up daughter from school a few days a week. In addition to my 4 year old, I also have a 1 year old that my nanny is responsible for watching. I just think it is strange that neither the mother or my nanny asked me if I am ok with this. This is an unpaid situation where the mother is not paying my nanny, and she picks up her daughter about an hour after school is over. The other mother does not know us, so I think it is odd that she is comfortable with her daughter coming to our house and tagging along with our childcare arrangements.

We really love our nanny and I think she was just overly nice to this mother and is perhaps being taken advantage of. Should I let this play out and see what happens, or mention my hesitatation about it?[/quote]

No No No No.

Your nanny should know better and so should the other Mother. Get her number asap and see what her side of the story is.

We had this issue pop up for a week with our nanny when we just had an 18 mo old. Our nanny was supposedly propositioned by a Mom noticing the kids were the same age and said she would PAY OUR NANNY to drive HER KID everywhere our kid went - MyGym, the park, etc.   My nanny told me one Monday morning about it, and it instantly sounded like she liked the sound of making $20 on my dime as well driving two kids around. Meanwhile, she hated the one car seat in her car (now she'd need two), and it is hard enough getting out of the house for one kid, now you have to get out, pick up another kid, strap them in and go.  And I am paying FT for this?  I questioned my nanny's judgment. Anything for a buck attitude.

I asked for the mother's name and phone number to cheerfully "see what was up."  Nanny never gave it to me and it never came up again. [/quote]
