[quote=Anonymous]00:07 here.  I definitely agree the nanny relationship is not like other professional relationships and we also definitely want our nanny to be comfortable in our home in many ways.   But my view is that there have to be some professional lines.  To the MBs to try to treat their nannies like family, would you also encourage your nanny to have friends over to your house to hang out?  Not a playdate, just a bunch of her friends.  How about on a Saturday night when you are out of town?  Borrow your expensive jewelry?

That's neither here nor there though.  Mostly, I can't figure out why any adult would be encouraged to nap for two hours during the day every day or why I would have to specify that it is not acceptable to do that on the job.  If your nanny is sick or had a tough night or something, well we all have days like that and I don't think it's a big deal.  But if my nanny was napping every day for two hours, I'd encourage her to go to the doctor and figure out why she can't make it through the day without a nap.  Part of being a professional is showing up to your job well rested and ready to be on.  If the baby has a tough day and refuses to nap, and your nanny doesn't get her nap, does that mean she's phoning it in for the rest of the day?  [/quote]
