[quote=Anonymous]You work in their home. They eat breakfast in their home.

Man, reading a bunch of these posts makes me even more grateful for my DD's nanny. You want to know what happens in our home? The nanny comes, sometimes a bit early, and sometimes we're running a but late and still having breakfast or coffee. I make her coffee often. She makes me coffee often. She'll sometimes bring a treat for DD (croissant or something). She has free reign of all of our food.  She asks and we help her with a million things in her life (booking plane tickets, opening accounts, getting around the city to which she is new, giving suggestions for shopping destinations, travel, restaurants). She offers to help us with various things she sees we could use help with ("hey, do you want me to go through DD' clothes and take out what is getting too small?") or she spontaneously waters the plants when she sees they're dry (without being asked or expected to), etc.

I can't imagine having such a curt relationship with anyone I work with - whether it's my nanny, the teams I manage at work, or my own bosses. We all know a lot about each other's lives and adapt to the extent possible, and we're all happier for it. Just because someone gets paid, doesn't mean it's not a community.
