[quote=Anonymous]Personally I don't think it's a nanny's place to buy things for the house or baby, unless she's more of a housekeeper where buying groceries, household items, etc. is part of her job description. Making suggestions is fine if asked, but ultimately I think it's up to the parents to decide how you want to spend your money. If I wanted a bathtub set, or anything else, I'd go research and buy it myself.

I can see how a super busy parent who is never home, works too much & doesn't pay much attention to detail/what the house needs could value a person like this. (Not a diss, just some parents dont have time to think about these little things outside of work). But for the normal 9-5 working parent, who plays a big role in the home, I would think this would be overstepping boundaries. I'm a nanny and even if my MB gave me her card and told me to make any purchases I see necessary for the house, I would still want to run them by her and discuss them first. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I consider myself a self-starter and great problem solver, but I would still never spend someone's money without giving them a heads-up first.
