Because they're an employee, not the child's friend.

The nanny is your employee but your child's full time caregiver. You clearly do not have either children or a nanny or your would never post something that stupid.

Depends. If we are inviting family & friends then nanny is invited too. If its a low key party with just 1 or 2 close friends then we haven't invited nanny.

Yes, but make sure they don't feel obligated to come.

No, the nanny certainly shouldn't be the friend, but if she is fact the primary caregiver she should be invited, imo.

I always invite my nanny but I make sure she knows it is her option to attend since we have the parties on the weekend, which cuts into her personal time. I really believe in letting our nanny have free weekend to recharge her batteries.

For the same reason I might not invite the grandparents. Some parties aren't going to be at all fun for the grown ups. If it's a dinner or something, sure, but why expect grown ups to come stand around and watch the birthday boy play putt putt of something? ESPECIALLY if it's not on his actual birthday.

Yes

No. Not always. I have five kids, and sometimes their birthday parties were just an afternoon playgroup with a cake or my parents and inlaws coming over for a special dinner. I didn't invite my nanny to these events. The times that we had parties in our home with a lot of our friends and family, invitations, etc. I invited her too. I have noticed on this message board that a lot of people tend to have parties at a event type place (zoo, trampoline place, kids gym), and I don't think I would invite my nanny to that. I don't even think I would invite my parents to that kind of party.

Yes, I did.

Now we have a new nanny and a conuncdrum about inviting former and current. We're inviting the former nanny to a b'day party that includes family etc... over the weekend. The current nanny will be included in a small actual day of b'day celebration.

Our kids love their nannies and don't see a distinction between them and any other loved family member. So we include them.

Yes. Always.

Do you always invite your child's nanny to his/her birthday party?
