[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi I'm ananny of many years, worked live-in for few years and now I'm live-out only.
I'm very disturbed by what I'm reading, and glad a couple other posters brought this to attention.
I've been through my own share of cheap narcisstic bosses, and I get mad when I see how other nannies are being mistreated. Just like somebody said, if you hired her "live-in", she Has the right to stay at your house 2;/7, and you're responsible for her food, heat, a/c, water 24/7. Don't treat people like door mates, she's taking care of your children!!!
Would you like her being rude to your children? No! So treat her like animal being. I hope you told her from the beginning that you didn't want her there on the weekends and that she actually understood this. To me it's almost abuse to hire somebody live in, but not provide transportation and possibly enough food for the weekends, and trying to get her out...
Get yourself a live out nanny then!!!![/quote]

Op here- I have never asked her to leave on the weekends or even suggest it. We do pay for everything that she needs. Even a gym membership. I've asked her to make a shopping list and I do purchase all the items that she requests. We are just not willing to drive her to church at 9am on a Saturday and pick her up at 1. That's the whole day gone. She is very particular about the church she attends I would even take her to one nearby but she has refused. We live in a community with a decent amount of stores within walking distance do she doesn't always need to rely on us. I definitely do not mistreat her so I'm a bit offended by this. [/quote]

Your are definitely going above and beyond already. I think the church request is too much. If she really only has to have that church, then she can really find her own way there.  TBH I think the situation will fail because eventually she will stop seeing herself as a nanny and see herself as a family member give the relative connection with your DH and things will likely go downhill.[/quote]
