If you feel the situation has any real hope for a solution, you need to sit both parents down for a talk. Tell dad he needs to be on a consistant schedule as far as being "around" for his child. Ask if he would agree to regular "daddy time". It can be when he wants, but must be consistant, except for emergency changes. You can take advantage of the opportunity to accomplish other tasks. Hopefully they'll recognize the wisdom of this plan.

If dad refuses, I'd start to secure your next job.

This is bad advice. Dad can see his baby whenever he wants. If you ask for scheduled visitation, you will be fired, so please line up other employment first.

I would address specific concerns - "I would like to clarify your expectations and my role now that DB is around more."[/quote]

+1.  It is not appropriate for a nanny to try to limit Dad's access to his child.  If you are doing your job well, you shouldn't be so sensitive about the fact that he hears you interact with your charge.  You can also remedy this to some extent by taking the child out often, to the playground, playdates, on strolls, to library events.  You might also want to suggest some enrichment classes in the interest of "getting out of Dad's way so he can focus on work while you are on duty."[/quote]
