[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care if her sister in another country knows how much your kids weigh?[/quote]

OP here -- twofold -- one, like I said, I'm a private person.  Those just aren't details I think to share.  Second, she tries to give me feedback from her sister on our kid's care.  "Baby X needs more weight!  Should we give her formula?  My sister says you should try this brand." or "Baby X needs to roll over by now, my sister says.  Are you doing tummy time when you are with her? I do lots of it."  I find this kind of "feedback" intrusive.[/quote]

Hmm. I could see how it could be annoying...kind of, but she is a nanny and you presumably hired her for her experience and her knowledge right? Would it be different to you if she was quoting a class she had taken, or a study she had read? She sounds like she genuinely cares about your child, and she's enthusiastic about her job. But, do whatever you need to do to feel comfortable, though I do think you are over thinking things. [/quote]

My kids are in daycare (I know Im on the Nanny board....). I have written into our daycare contract that pictures of my kids are not to be posted on the website or facebook page.  I know daycare takes pictures and they send them to me every once in a while. I know they love my kids and like to take pictures and I have the rules defined. As for the comments, I am on OPs side.  The woman who cares for my infant is always saying I need to supplement with formula or giving me medical advice for my child and it is irritating- that is why I have a pediatrician. I know her caretakers just want what is best but I don't really like that type of approach. 
I will say that when I used to babysit I did often take pictures of the kid I watched. I shared the pictures with the mom but I I was very close to him and the family (I watched him for 5 years and now his mother is actually my sons godmother). Hundreds/ thousands is a lot, but I doubt she has ill intentions.  You'd be within your rights to ask what she does with them, but she may just like to look at them because she loves your kids.
