[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is grey area. You can’t tell her she must watch the cousin because she is working for you and is there to watch your kids. Not your nephew’s. For those talking about playdates it works the same. You can’t make her to watch other kids if she doesn’t feel comfortable. 
The question is what are you gonna do if she refuses to watch him? Rematch? Agency will be on her side in this. [/quote]

Thank you for agreeing with me!
The cousin is there for 2 weeks, few hours a day. It’s not a 1 or 2 hour play date.
With a lot of play dates sometimes the other nanny or mom is there, and if not, the parents need to realize that some nanny is watch8mg the kid and not the mother. I know it sounds like a play date and she knows the cousin, but still, don’t ask her to take care of him for 2 weeks for at least a few hours a day. The agency will say no, they don’t want to get into trouble as well. Imagine what would shown during a lawsuit
What are you going to say?
Oh, I had her watch my nephew for 2 weeks, unpaid, no extra money, it was just a play date 
As a nanny I always think about possible  lawsuits 
she was hired to watch your children and paid a weekly salary each week no matter if she works 0 or 40 hours [/quote]
