[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Our kids' first nanny was always included in their b'day parties.  She was like part of the family and we wouldn't have thought not to invite her.  She was with us for 3+ years.

Now we have a different nanny who will have been with us for 5 mths when our kids turn 4.

We want to include their former nanny in the party.  The current nanny is different - she is much less part of the family and more just an employee in how she interacts with us.  (She's also generationally very different.)

It probably isn't the greatest idea to have both former and current nanny at the party, but we don't want to upset either one.

So we're kind of stumped.

Short of just asking the current nanny whether she would like to come (which I would do, but for the issue of that likely being awkward with the former nanny there) or excluding the former nanny (which I don't want to do as we and the kids would love to see her, and I know it would mean a great deal to her to be invited), I can't think of a good solution.

I guess my only point is that this can be a tough issue for parents to sort out graciously, and not all nannies approach their jobs in the same way (and there's no right or wrong in that - just personal preference.)[/quote]
