[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't rocket science.
Are you the parent?
Do you want her to stay around the house?
Do you want her to go on neighborhood walks?

There are your answers. If you don't want her driving your kids, say no. [/quote]
And if she wants to interact with another adult during the course of her 8.5 hour day, she will tell you and get a new job.[/quote]

A lot of nannies seem to forget that work=work!! It's a JOB!! It's not about *gasp* you and your wants/desires!! Wow, what a shocking revelation, right??

I understand where you're coming from. Yes it's a job. Yes OP is allowed to make whatever rules she damn well pleases. All the nannies are pointing out is that the nanny is free to take it or leave it, and an employer should always weigh the reasonableness of their request. I don't choose positions that I wouldn't be happy at, as I'm sure most employees wouldn't. An employer can ask their employee to wipe their butt for them, you just have to ask yourself how likely is it that someone will take this job and stick around? For a 2 day/ week position, I don't think asking nanny to stay at home is unreasonable, but for a full time position, you'd have more difficulty finding someone who'd be happy with that. [/quote]
