I think this is a nanny testing out what someone might think of the situation.

You sound mega creepy OP.

Have you considered the fact that she might not want to share her personal life with you as it is just that, personal?

I find this thread so weird, it is absolutely none of your business what she does outside of work time, I am not sure why you need her to 'open up' more about her life outside of work?

Stop! You sound creepy!! I am sure she has a wonderful life that she doesn't want to include you in!

Face it, OP, she is just not into you. She may love your kids and love her work with them but clearly doesn't care for you.

My husband died over a two week holiday break. When I came back to work, I did not tell my MB. I didn't like her and did not want to share something so personal and raw with her. I told her several months later and left the job soon after.

She's not secretive, she just doesn't have anything interesting to share. Most people don't.

What she does is none of your business! She probably doesn't like you and just wants to keep it professional. No big deal. Not everyone is going to like you or want to be friends with you, OP.

I would guess that she does a very good job of keeping her personal life separate from her professional life and kudos to her for doing so.

Plus if she is adequately caring for your child, then who really cares how she spends her free time off.

Mixing business w/pleasure can be tricky.

Maybe she goes home and watches Netflix and doesn't want you to know she's an introvert with a small circle of friends and doesn't socialize regularly. That's what I read into it because that's a lot like me.

I am like this too. I am a very private person. I love my families. I am present and engaged in caring for the children and supporting the parents. Why do you need to know the details of my weekend?

I am Gay and was like this with one family. I wasnt ready to let them know. They kept asking what I did the night before and over the weekend and I didnt want to lie so I was just vague all the time.
Stop intruding, she will open up when she wants to.

It's not any of your business. If she's providing good care for your child that's all that matters.

She is trying to be professional. You should as well.

Is she performing her duties,? If so, that is all you need to know. Her personal life is absolutely none of your business. Shebid an employee not your slave.
