[quote=Anonymous]There are all kinds of nanny relationships.  I have had two families where I would and have asked whether out of town friends and family could join me at work.  These were families that viewed me as an extended family member, where I knew their cousins/grandparents/etc. and they were interested in me as a person.  They trusted my judgement about the people I was willing to include in their kids' lives and I was thoughtful about who and how.  For them, the benefit was sometimes just having a happy nanny, but sometimes it was truly to their benefit, by going on an outing that I would have been hesitant to do alone (e.g., my friend waits in line for us while kids play then we all go into the event together), or when my friends or family have used connections of theirs to get the kids and I tickets or other perks.  One year, MB's niece died in a crash days before thanksgiving.  She was so grateful that the kids knew and loved my family, because they came home with me for the holiday while she got to focus on comforting her sister.

That said, there are other families where I wouldn't have even thought to ask.  You know the line.[/quote]
