[quote=Anonymous] I think you need to pin down what bothers you feel that it is a problem because your child might get less attention and therefore nanny is not "earning her keep,"  then that is a very different issue then you simply thinking that the mom is taking advantage of your nanny.

From a nanny perspective: 
 If the mom is dropping off only her same age child, it is only for about an hour, and it is not something that's happening frequently/regularly, then your nanny may be very honest and telling you that it is not a problem. At that age it can be easier to care for two children then for one because when there are two,  The friend serves as a fun activity so you don't have to entertain the child every minute. If the nanny has a choice between having play dates at their house with two other siblings or having play dates at your house with just the one other girl, it would be a no-brainer to tell the mom  to go ahead and take the other siblings on an errand and leave the little girl to play with her charge.

Now, that said, if that mom is leaving three children with your nanny, then there is no way that is less work for her. [/quote]
