[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny, and I am so happy with the family I work for now. I have been with them for over 3 years, and I would basically do anything if they asked. They make me happy in countless ways, ,here are a few.

They respect me, and encourage their kids to as well. In return I make sure to do the same for them.

I work 40-45 hours, very occasionally I work more. They always respect my time off, and even let me go early some days. If/when mom or dad have an extra day off, so do I. In return I spontaneously take the kids to the park a few Saturday/Sundays a year, for 2/3 hours while mom and dad get lunch/relax.(I don't charge them, but they always give me money for lunch)

They always pay me, no matter what(52 weeks a year), and give me 2 weeks paid vacation of my choice(I am full time tho) They also take a few vacations of their own, but I am always paid.

They give me a lot of autonomy to choose the activities for the kids, and let me structure our days any way I want(within reason, and always developmentally appropriate)

Overall it's a give and take, you should treat your nanny fantastically because she is the one caring for your children, and your home while you are away(not ness housekeeping)
