[quote=Anonymous]Long-time nanny here. The problem is that when your role all day is taking care of the kids, they don't just automatically shut off and only go to the parents once the parents are there. They still whine, complain, ask for attention, act up, etc. to you, the nanny or AP. Basically, MB and DB get home, you are supposedly "off", but you really just become a 3rd parent. Everyone is then dealing with the kids. Or one/two are dealing with the kids while the other one/two make dinner or clean up. The point is, it is work for everyone. No matter how much you love the family you work for, it is still work. I have stayed for dinners with my nanny family, and it felt like work. As much as I adored them, it just did. Work I wasn't paid for after a long, hard day. Sorry, it is true. Same with parties at their house, or outings with them that I was invited to as a guest, like a football game. Same for trips with them. It is just the nature of it. [/quote]
