[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, as I said I was simply curious. I don't need any answers, I just wanted them. :)[/quote]

Very good.  But again, I would caution you against thinking that bringing a friend along to your job is "common" based on the handful of answers on this thread.[/quote]

Don't worry yourself over the things I think, I've got a handle on it.[/quote]

Here's what you said: "I was surprised that she was so comfortable with it and was wondering if it was common - I got my answer (it is!)...".

I'm not actually worried about YOU thinking that bringing along your friend to your job is common, I'm worried about all the nannies reading this that will then accuse their MBs of being on their "high horse" and of not trusting that their nannies aren't bringing along a "child molesting drug dealer" when really, they just want their nanny to do the job they are paying them for and use leave if they have personal things to do.  [/quote]

Ok, but then you'll be the MB on here complaining that your nanny is abusing her sick leave or taking days off to hang out with her friends. We really can't win with MBs like you. [/quote]

No, I seriously won't.  That's why employers offer leave time.  Our nanny has the standard two weeks of leave, unlimited sick time, and all Federal holidays off.  She can do whatever she wants with her leave.  She doesn't even have to tell me what she's doing.  Now if she's used up all her leave, and repeatedly asks me for more leave to hang out with her friends, yes, then we'll have an issue.

Listen, I said I'd be ok with my nanny bringing along a friend if we'd talked about expectations and if I met the friend and if it was a nanny I really liked and trusted.  I'm not saying it's a definite no.  But you may have an MB who wants her nanny to be focused totally on her job and who would really rather not allow a person she doesn't know to be hanging out with her kids all day when she's paying for a service, and that's her perogative.  I don't think you get to be irritated because your boss would rather you not bring along a friend to your job.  [/quote]
