[quote=Anonymous]I agree that your nanny is definitely crossing the boundaries of mixing business with pleasure.

On one hand you are very blessed to have someone who truly loves your child as her own and no doubt will care for her in the best manner possible. However, for her to ask to have her on weekends, to text you on weekends to see how she is and to constantly buy her things is unprofessional.

What is really unprofessional is the fact that she is not listening to your strict instructions on what to feed your daughter.

If I told my nanny not to feed my child a certain food, and she went ahead and did it behind my back, I would be absolutely livid OP! That is grounds for termination. I would have a talk w/your nanny first and stress to her how important it is for her to follow your instructions since this is a job first and foremost. I would give her a warning and if she doesn't listen again, I would give her her walking papers.

As for the attachment issues, there needs to be some space between your daughter and her. I would continue declining her requests to have your daughter during her off time and tell her you are unable to accept any new toys from her from now on because she already has so many.

While it is always a lovely bonus for a nanny to genuinely care about the child she works with in a personal manner, there are always boundaries that must be respected and it seems your nanny is completely clueless as to what these boundaries are.

This says a lot about her character so I would keep a close eye on her OP.[/quote]
