[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]so OP, you want your employee to be just that. An employee who comes in, does her job, and leaves. That means you need a LIVE-OUT caregiver.

You cannot rationally expect that you can open the door to the 250 sq ft bedroom she uses at her start time and then that you can put her back in her room when her work day is over. Her room might be 15' x 17' - would you go stir crazy if you were told to stay in that size space when you are "home" and not working?[/quote]

I never said i wanted her locked in her room. She has an entire house. She is welcomed to sit with us but if she does then she is expected to act like I or my husband would or even my teenager. Responsible and aware of what is going on around her. So if my kids went into her room and hung out while she is in there, would that be ok to you guys? I really don't think so. Anyway it looks like I am wasting my time wih most of you here. Some that did respond were very helpful and I thank you, but some of you just talk out of your butts without thinking things through or reading properly.[/quote]

From reading over the entire thread, I see that the OP has asked for feedback but is very defensive when the responses do not match with what she wants to hear.  OP, you made the decision to come here to seek feedback, can you at least attempt to understand what majority of the posters are saying?   You have latched on to the minority of responses who are supportive of your way of thinking and basically telling the others to f-off.

You have a Live-In Nanny who you have decided will be a part of your family and your initial post is about her helping out with the kids while in the common area, then you said your main concern is time with your family alone - which is it?   From your initial post and responses following, a Live-In Nanny is not the ideal situation OR you will need to have a talk with your nanny about expectations re the 7 to 9pm timeframe.   I do not think its too much to ask your nanny to allow you to spend some alone time with your family during that period.   Also, the suggestion to have a TV put in her room is a good one.
