[quote=Anonymous]I just did a trial with a family for the care of a three-year-old and it went well.  I was offered the job and started last week.  The last nanny only lasted a few months and no one has anything to say about her.  My new MB just said, "it didn't work out".  The nanny before her was apparently Mary Poppins and is greatly loved by the entire extended family.  My MB works out of the house and is around a lot.  The first nanny moved about 30 miles away and couldn't do the commute but they parted on the best of terms.

Anyway, I had two great weeks with the new family or so I thought...  On Friday Mary Poppins shows up.  Of course my new charge loves her and went running to her.  I get that.  She was his nanny from the time he was six months old until just a few months ago.  What bothered me was how my new MB was so different with her than with me.  The talked and joked like old friends.  Mary Poppins is older and apparently has dinner with my MB's mother and father pretty frequently.  It is clear that I will never have the kind of relationship that Mary has with this family.  Everyone is very "professional" toward me and nothing like they are with her.

Has anyone else ever been in this position?
