[quote=Anonymous]Holy cow, MB - back off or you will lose her.  She answered your questions to the point of showing you the reciept and pictures!  Just to enlighten anyone confused about this...I have been a nanny for over 20 years.  Here is how it works.  A nanny job is not like most other jobs, in that she does not have a "real" lunch break.  By that I mean, she cannot leave and run errands, like soooo many people do on their lunch breaks.  Most people who work have this ability - it is the law in most states (if not all) that you must have a lunch break.  Since she is chained to the job all day, it is customary that you give a little leeway for the occasional errand with your child(ren).   Obviously, she cannot abuse it, but really, she needs to feel she can do a short errand here or there.  How is she supposed to go to the bank (if needing to go in person)?  The insurance agent, the vet to pick up medicine, the whatever - there are so many things that are only open when nannies are working.  Plus, even a store where she just had to pick the stuff up....she was right there....really?  If I shop for groceries for my bosses, and I need a handful of grocery items, am I not supposed to get them, and go back at the end of my already too-long day?? [/quote]
