[quote=Anonymous]MB here and like the one above I have no problem w/ our nanny getting some personal stuff done when it makes sense and she's out w/ the kids anyway.  A little flexibility on our side pays huge dividends and we treat each other respectfully.  We have a great relationship.

So you can allow these kinds of things if it makes sense for the dynamics in your family and with your nanny.

My one caution would be that you sound like you might have a pretty significant "reset" in a couple of months, so it can be difficult to take back flexibility and extra considerations when they no longer make sense in the context of the job.  Especially in the first few months you want to make sure you build a good solid relationship w/ the nanny, and a level of communication that will serve you well for the duration of the employment.

I would have some candid conversations so that you and the nanny both have a plan for things changing over time and that expectations are clear.

Good luck.[/quote]
