You are right. At this age, your baby's only needs are to be fed, changed and to have adequate rest. It is quite alright for your nanny to take her along on errands or to meet friends as long as your baby is being cared for properly which it seems she is. Trust me OP, a happy nanny ensures a happy infant.

Are you really going to take what some anonymous strangers on some anonymous free forum are saying to make you change your mind? It sounds like this set-up is working well for everyone right now and if it isn't broke, then don't fix it.

In the future, if your nanny wants to occasionally run some errands or meet friends, I don't see any issues. My bosses let me do this and they were okay with it. I made sure of course this was very occasional and I always made sure the majority of our time was spent on kid-related activities, but if I needed to run to Target for something or meet a friend at McDonald's for lunch, my boss was cool. Plus, my charge loved to see new faces and play at the playground.

If you give your nanny too many restrictions and make her feel too tied down to the house with too many rules, she will feel lonely and isolated and that will only make for an unhappy nanny. And who will suffer the most? Your daughter.[/quote]
