[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MB is a very self-centered woman, too.  And not just with me.  I put up a post-it on my fridge that says "DO NOT OFFER, DO NOT AGREE" to remind myself every morning who I was dealing with.

I love my charges and love being a nanny, too.  I don't do this job for the parents - I do it for the kids.  I would do anything for the kids - 110% every day - but I work to the letter of our agreement with my employers and not a stitch more.  [/quote]

These are the people that make me wonder why they chose to become nannies, probably because they heard it was easy. If you want a job where you won't be asked to do anything you didn't explicitly agree too then work an office job. You come in at X, you leave at Y, no mess no fuss. You can leave the Nannie jobs for those of us that really want to be nannies and enjoy integrating with a family and helping out and having a friendly relationship and enjoy the work.[/quote]

I have a very friendly and warm relationship with our nanny but she is not "integrated" into our family.  She has a lovely family of her own.  I truly believe she is the world's greatest nanny and she does come in at X and leave at Y - no mess, no fuss - Monday through Friday.  She is never late and neither are we.

Our nanny truly loves my child and loves her job - you can see it in her face.  But she isn't a housekeeper or the family "helper" - she is an educated and experienced nanny.  Which is exactly what I wanted.

And yes, you do sound very young and immature, PP.  I would be uncomfortable having a nanny who needed approval as badly as you seem to.  [/quote]
