[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Family is always going to come first. This family doesn’t need a nanny.[b] They need a warm body for the one week a month when grandmother won’t be there doing it all herself anyway. [/b]Start shopping around for a new position and give them a reasonable amount of notice and move on. [/quote]

This is not a major point, but I don't agree with this.  A lot of grandmas can't or won't take care of a baby completely on their own, let alone for 2-3 weeks at a time.  This family may very much need a FT nanny who is there every day of the month.

Having said that, OP, I agree that your situation is not tenable and you should look for a new job.  You could talk with the parents (but only after you have strong prospects), but realistically, it's not going to get better to the point you will be happier with them than with a new family.  Grandma clearly doesn't have boundaries and will get only more unpleasant if the parents talk with her, no matter how tactfully.  The only way I see things working with Grandma is if you split baby time with her so your hours get cut, or she spends a set time with you & baby e.g., a half day and you just have to suck up her presence for that time, but at least it's not the whole day.  But as I said before, I don't think this will work and you need to move on. [/quote]
