It is your time to do with as you please.

You can't seem to make up your mind.

As long as it doesn't effect your work for them, it shouldn't be a problem.

I would be bothered if you were doing it during work hours and not discussing it with me/reducing my payment to you. Off time, I think its great!

MB here.

No, OP, I would not be bothered at all. It would not be my business to interfere in your life outside of your hours with my family. In fact, I'd be happy that other families would hire you and appreciate your work, because obviously, if we think you're good enough to be our nanny, we think you're great.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Your bosses do not get to dictate your off-time.

No, do not get into it. Healthy boundaries are a GOOD thing, OP.

Would you be upset if your nanny babysat other families in the neighborhood that you child had regular playdates with and you knew the parents well enough? Just curious.
