[quote=Anonymous]I agree that petting the neighbor’s dog through the fence could become a huge liability issue later down the road.

So try to be very clear on that.

You admit your son can be persuasive -
He likely begged + cajoled his Nanny to build a fort.
W/some kids, it is often easier to choose your battles & this really is something fun as well as creative for them to do.
She likely didn’t understand you completely due to the language barrier and didn’t understand that the new rope was off-limits.

Unless the rope is going to be extremely pricey to replace, I would let this current issue go.
Stress to her very clearly + concisely that in the future, you would appreciate it if she is granted permission first before using anything in the home, garage & backyard for recreational purposes.

Why not ask your son what he would like to have in order to build a really awesome fort next time.
Then take him along to the store and the two of you can select and purchase everything that he feels will make a cool fort.

Then when Nanny arrives, explain to her that in the future if there are any items that she + your son will need, to give you a list of items & you will get them for them vs. her just helping herself to things around the home.

Other than this issue (which I hope you can work out!), she seems like a fun and creative Nanny for your son.
She sounds engaging, energetic and very hands-on.....

Not the type to put your son in front of the television while she uses her phone all day.[/quote]
