[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18 months, just turned 3 and 5.

She works 40 hrs a week m-f. No date nights or weekends. She's been with us for 2 years. [/quote]

She is with them most of their waking hours. What did you expect?  She probably does know them better than you.[/quote]

40 hours isn't most of their waking hours.  
There are 168 hours in a week.  If the kids are sleeping 11 hours every night (from 8pm-7am), that's 77 hours/wk.  
168-77=91.  They probably also nap 2 hours/day.  91-14= 77.  
So, the nanny spends 30 hours/wk with the kids (40 - 10 that they are napping), and parents spend 47 hours/wk with the kids + vacations and holidays.

Your nanny knows morning stuff about the kids, OP, because she is there in the morning.  She probably doesn't know what their favorite book is to read before bed or how to wash their hair so no soap gets in their eyes or which lovey they absolutely will need on a trip to Grandma's house.  And kids go through phases where they prefer one caregiver over another.  I wouldn't stress about this.
