You don't have to tattle. Leave it open ended. "Hi - I'm wondering how you'd like me to handle it when I see Larla during the week. I'm nannying for Jenny down the street, and sometimes we run into Larla at activities and parks. I don't want it to be confusing for her or to undermine your regular nanny. What would be the best approach here? Would it be best to try to keep my distance?"

And see what they say. [/quote]OP here and I thought of that. I’m pretty sure that the nanny has not said anything to the parents so this would be the first of them hearing about it.  Again I don’t want to tattle (her behavior at a neighborhood park this week was disconcerting.) She became pretty angry when I said I wasn’t sure what she wanted me to do and actually tried to engage other nannies at the park about the issue. Of course they just nodded their heads and looked at her like she was crazy.  It was embarrassing uncomfortable and very unprofessional on her part.[/quote]
