[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you take them to practices?  If so, one each per season is plenty.  To the MB, we aren't talking about what the parents require but about the relationship with the kids.  Whether or not you care about the nanny, she may be important to your kids and they may value having her present in their lives beyond the scope of a paycheck.[/quote]

If the nanny I employed showed up at my kids' events uninvited and outside of their working hours that would be weird and uncomfortable. I care about our childrens' nanny, and it's unclear why you extrapolated otherwise. [/quote]

Sure you care about her in that you want her to be happy as long as she's not too close to you kids.  With whom she spends her days.  Yep.  That seems possible.

Even my former charges still occasionally invite me to their events.  Why on Earth would it be uncomfortable?  If you are THAT uncomfortable spending time with you children's caregiver in an unpaid capacity, then you need a new nanny (because you don't get along with the current one) or you need to stay home (because you don't understand and value the role of a nanny).[/quote]

I'm not going to stay home and we plan to keep our nanny as long as we can.  Zero intention of getting anyone else.  Look at the live-ins who said they were asked to attend games and don't want to go - I won't have my kids imposing that way on other people. If they're in a sports game every single weekend, that's not special. If they made it to state championships or something, that would be different. But even then, I wouldn't let the kids invite the nanny and if they did, I'd immediately explain a possible out so they didn't feel obligated. I don't want the kids' nanny to burn out. [/quote]

Uh-huh.  You said that having your nanny there would be "weird and uncomfortable" because you care about HER.  Checks out.[/quote]
