[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here checking in- thanks for taking the time to
Reply, even the mean ones.

So, just to sum up the responses to my question- most nannies feel that they would be able to handle this level
of outing with a 7, 4 and 2 year old and if they did not feel they were able to handle it, it would be due to the fact that the children are “brats” and wildly misbehaving?

Furthermore, this is an inappropriate question to even ask on a nanny board because I already asked the nanny and she said no and I should just respect her decision unilaterally in respect for her professional role?

Thanks. No snark implied. Truly looking for clarification as I navigate this.

Welcome to DCUM!  I also do not live in DC and maybe the climate there makes everyone cranky?  I am a career nanny and have replies to a couple of posts on this thread. I can, without a doubt, handle taking 3+ children to a strawberry patch. If your children were unruly then we would be working together to change that or you would be looking for a new nanny.  I cannot imagine working for children that I didn’t feel like I could handle safely on outings. But your nanny can’t, so for the safety of your children you cannot ask her to take them out.  That wouldn’t work for me, but only you can decide what works for you, especially with a fourth on the way.

Also, all questions are appropriate to ask, just ignore the truly unhappy people that like to call names and such. Best of luck to you![/quote]. Thank you for this reply! Wish you the best and a happy summer!! [/quote]
