[quote=Anonymous]OP here, today is the day our nanny interns at my husbands office.  We agreed that we wouldn't discuss it with her right away, but he is taking back her laptop (he gave her the use of it while interning) and he's letting her know that he needs to hire some people and that he can't have her as an intern yet.  First step for us it to separate work and personal.  Unfortunately the nature of a nanny and employer relationship is personal, very hard to keep that line drawn.

Because I care about her, I will let her know what she did was wrong and how it affected our family and our trust in her. I can totally see how she got wrapped up in wanting to be part of the office and wanting to be like by everyone.  But I just can't get over the hurt of her betraying us after so many years of a good relationship.  If she didn't like us, she wouldn't have kept working for us for 4 years, and vice versa.

As for the nincompoop that made this comment:  She's not your nanny anymore - she's your babysitter! Big difference.

I seriously hate when people say oh I have a nanny. She watches our children once a week for date night. Lady that's a babysitter. Stop trying to sound like you have a nanny.

Sorry not part of the thread at all. Just annoys me!

Sad that the potential misuse of a word brings you so much annoyance.  You must be a joy to be around and I'm sure people find you oh so pleasant.

I use the word NANNY because she worked full time for us longer than she worked for us as a "sitter" and my kids know her as their NANNY.

I get that people can be pretentious and use the word loosely, not the case here.  I currently have a live in, AU PAIR would be the word, but we call her a nanny, because she does what nannys do, CARE FOR CHILDREN.  I've been around the block when it comes to childcare and I can assure you, all the terms are used loosely so get over YOUR pretentiousness and stop letting such trivial things ANNOY you.  Pah-tay-toe Pah-Tah-toe.

Thanks to legitimate posters, got some good advice here, not to mention a little entertainment ;) [/quote]
