[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I think it's odd for her to not be sharing the pictures with you, I also find it odd that you expect her not to share anything with her family. I mean if she posting online without permission thanI understand, but if she visits family and they ask to see a photo of the children she spends so much time with, why is that a problem? I assuming she's full time and has been with them awhile, I don't know why you would be upset if she has such a strong bond that she wants to share a little bit of her life with her family. Your children become a big part a nanny's life if you have a good one. I take tons of pictures of my charges, all the good ones are sent to my employers, I share them on my website, nanny fb page and twitter (I have written consent forms signed by my employers). My grandmother often asks to see pictures of the children because I've cared for them since they were babies, if I let her she would probably send them Christmas gifts but I won't cross that boundary.

The children become a part of your life for a short time and many ppl with close family ties enjoy sharing bits of their life with each other.

However, you are the parent and employer, you have every right to have her sign a confidentiality form that prevents her for sharing any information, down to your child's first name. I'd just find it extreme and would worry you have some dangerous personal issues (stalkers, problems with the law) and that's why you don't want information shared in anyway.[/quote].

I was agreeing with everything till you mention your website Facebook and twitter. No. That's too much!![/quote]

That's okay, you don't need to agree with the way I use social media to connect families. My families sign a release form and enjoy how I do things because their family likes to stay connected. Each site uses different types of photos, my website has the "professional" photos, my twitter mentions the children and the Facebook page is a combination of  special activities  and photos of things we do during the week.  Not all pictures involve the children, sometimes it's just pictures of their crafts or a sensory table I created but since I use their property, I make sure I have permission. So far every family I've worked for in the last eight years has signed the release form. They have right to refuse or later ask to have them removed but none have. It's all tasteful, legal and as safe as I can make it.[/quote]
