[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old charge calls me a shortened version of my first name. It drives me insane, I have talked with him about how I don't like when he calls me that and that he needs to call me by my name, but he refuses and his mother thinks it's  adorable. I have always gone by my first name and prefer that. [/quote]
How unfortunate that the mother has such little respect for her child's nanny.
If your charge (or anyone) calls you by anything you deem inappropriate, simply ignore it. That's that the most effective remedy. Do not respond until they address you properly.[/quote]

Simmer down - it's probably like her name is Emily and the kid calls her Emmy or something. It's not like her name is Julia and the kid calls her Jerkface.[/quote]

The point is the PP does not want to be called it, regardless what the shortened name may be, and her boss isn't backing her up.  There are several shortened versions of my name that just make me cringe to hear, fortunately, all of my employers have asked what I would like to be called and then followed through.  It's a simple issue of respect. She shouldn't simmer down. [/quote]
Exactly. Nannies should be addressed respectfully, however they see fit. Shame on parents who don't support that.[/quote]
This is the bottom line.[/quote]
Parents can ask the nanny what she prefers.[/quote]
