[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Seeing she's giving her all to your family for three years already, would it be possible to consider to pay for some kind of housekeeping? One person for 3 or 4 hours a week, or even one day a month? She's obliously overwhelmed with her personal conditions and needs some help. Ask her to pick a service. She'll probably be innitially embarassed, but incredibly appreciative of your generosity and thoughtfulness. Her recent surgery is a perfect opportunity for you to do this if you can possibly afford to help her. Her work performance for your children could only get even better, if anything. This has got to be a huge burden for her to be dealing with.[/quote] This is terrible advice. She is an adult and the employer should mind her own business out of respect for the nanny's personal boundaries.[/quote] She's a great nanny with some apparent mental health issues. Offering help is completely respectful and caring. [/quote] Yes but I think the point is that "help" would be in the form of a psychologist/psychiatrist not a housekeeper and that is definitely crossing boundaries. Have you ever seen the show hoarders? I can't imagine how a housekeeper could do anything at all to help that situation. Housekeepers clean (as in washing floors and scrubbing toilets). They don't throw away things people have collected. [/quote]
