[quote=Anonymous]This happens to DD's nanny on a regular basis.  I personally think it's completely normal that a parent walk up to a nanny who takes excellent care of her charge and ask if she's looking for a job; you never know if the nanny is part-time and looking for more hours, or if she will be leaving her job soon because the child is going into daycare, for example.  Having said that, it REALLY BUGS ME when it's neighbors from our building (we live in a smallish building of 60 units) or friends of theirs who approach DD's nanny and they do so in our building (so they know that she works for one of the residents).  Our nanny is almost FT (30 hours/week) and is free to take extra work, but if she ever asked me about working for one of our neighbors, I would say Please NO.  We have no family members in the area so next to DH and me, the nanny is DD's family, she is Mommy #2.  I can't imagine how traumatized DD would be to see her 2nd mommy taking care of another child and unable to come to her when she needs or wants her.  We have a playroom and courtyard where all the building kids play so it would be inevitable that DD see her nanny in that situation.[/quote]
