[quote=Anonymous]MB here. It's a lovely idea OP, but be careful about maintaining boundaries. I would wait and issue the invitation in a few months. I know it seems counter-intuitive, especially if you have a terrific nanny and everything is going wonderfully, but it's actually helpful to try to maintain a professional employer/employee relationship and invitations like this can blur the lines. Wondering whether it might feel awkward to her is a good instinct and I think you're better off getting to know her in other ways, through the natural progression of the job. Pay attention to her cues - does she volunteer personal information, chat freely in conversation about her family, etc.... or is she more closed? Both are fine, but gauging your approach based on what you observe in her, while maintaining some professional boundaries, is (IMO) a smart way to go about it.[/quote]
