[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this Covid-related OP?

Or are we past that by now??

Anyway, it is likely very convenient for your Nanny to use your gym plus she may not be able to afford her own membership at a fitness center.
If she wants to use it - I would likely let her.
Especially if she was an outstanding Nanny.

I mean > if she makes your life easier perhaps you could make hers as well??
As a Nanny I wouldn’t want to just because I would need a cool shower afterward & would feel uncomfortable also asking permission to use their shower.[/quote]

OP. Not Covid related but want to keep things professional. Nanny is fairly new and good, not outstanding. I thought about the shower thing too, which is another reason I said no. I’m sure she would have no qualms asking after her workout. If her clothes got dirty and she needed to take a shower doing something job related, i’m fine with it though.

Nanny is very well paid (especially compared to what I’ve seen on here) and has an easy schedule. If she can’t afford a gym membership as a single person on this salary, sorry but I don’t have sympathy because she’s overspending or in the wrong field.

OP, I'm with you.  The fact that she's new and very well paid is giving me flashbacks to our own over-entitled nannies' requests, which started well before they 'proved' themselves, so to speak.  The more you blur the lines of what is work-appropriate, the worse at the job they get, it seems.[/quote]

"Giving you flashbacks to your over-entitled nannies" this make me think and feel sorry for all of them.  Just wondering, how many nannies you had;  it's clear nobody last and ended up quitting. [/quote]

Nope, we had 2, terminated both because they were making our lives more annoying rather than easier.  Daycare works for us much better.[/quote]

Yep, there’s a lot of duds out there. The defensive posters who replied to you are probably great examples of these over entitles nannies. They’d rather whine and talk about how great they are than actually work hard.[/quote]
