If you are so truly concerned that your nanny doesn't travel, give her a big raise and more time off. Otherwise, keep your pathetically transparent posts to yourself.
This.

Very well said PP.
You sound like a brilliant MB and your nanny is lucky to have your love and respect. Not all MB's are like you. Looking at you, OP.

What if the nanny doesn't want 'help?'. I am sure she goes out and does social events but whose business is it of her MB's if she prefers a quieter social life and doesn't see dating/relationships as a big deal?
OP, all you should care about is how she looks after your kids. Be kind and thoughtful to her not because you pity her but because you care about her as a person.
You sound quite conceited.

Stop. All OP is doing is posting about who she sees as a "pathetic nanny". She has offered her no help whatsoever. OP is very patronizing and stunningly under-educated

Please take a course in the correct usage of English grammar/punctuation. I bet you're the poster who always says "me and my DH.". MYSELF is a reflective pronoun. Look it up!
Oh snap!

This. I love my MB but don't feel the need to tell her about my personal life. I feel like she may think I am a bit of a sadcase but it doesn't bother me. All she should be concerned with is how good I am as a nanny.

No. I respect our beloved nanny's privacy and also learned long ago that people are different-what I think is wonderful another may loathe.
Don't be so patronizing, OP.

Maybe she just doesn't have the same priorities as you do, or doesn't feel the need to share what goes on in her off time.
