[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want her to help and keep an eye on the kids when she's off the clock then you should compensate her. 
When I stay over at nanny families house due to weather I'm off the clock. They don't have a large house and only one family room so I can either go to the guest room or sit in the family room. If the kids come up to me I don't ignore them but my bosses usually step in and move them away from me to give me a break. 
It sounds like you go and do other things around the house when nanny is around and expect her to work. You need to make sure you are watching your baby to correct behavior they are doing and stop relying on the nanny. First you say you want her to feel and act like family then you say you want her to go to her area when she's off. I agree with others there's something about you that comes across that you're difficult. Maybe a live out would be better for you[/quote]

I don't know.  I think this makes sense for one night, but after a month or two of moving your children away from your nanny so that she can have a break, I think I would also be asking her to take her break in another room too.

And maybe my kids are weird, but if someone is watching television in my house, that's where the kids are.  They will hang out in the kitchen and "help" or color while I clean up, but not if spongebob is on in the next room.  And if you are going to do something that is going to attract the kids to you like a magnet, then you are at least partly responsible for their behavior once they get there.
