I think you are right to be concerned about how this will affect her charges. This is a tough one. I would talk to my employer, maybe she could tell the mom that her nanny (you) doesn't want to have play dates with her nanny because of some prejudiced remarks she has made. Then the mom can talk to you, if she wants to look into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-1168827809317059692007-01-14T21:23:00.000-05:002007-01-14T21:23:00.000-05:00I think nannies should have whatever days the pare...I think nannies should have whatever days the parents have off.

I'd also tell my employer why the playdate was cut short. Let her tell the other mom. Racism is learned. Kids don't come up with that crap by themselves, they learn it from the grownups around them.

Once you agree to it, that's it. Good boundaries make good work relations. If a nice employer wants to then give nanny extra days off that's great. But no one should make a deal and then cry about it. That goes equally for employers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-1168807284062379942007-01-14T15:41:00.000-05:002007-01-14T15:41:00.000-05:00I just have to agree with the first person- Kelly ...I just have to agree with the first person- Kelly does not sound like an employer but an employee.

If your employer previously told you that you would have MLK day off and now you don't, you have a right to be angry. If you are a nanny and you are supposed to work on MLK day, then you have no right to bitch and moan about it! Do your job! My nanny will be working, even though I have the day off from work. Just as my nanny gets time off when I travel to take care of her personal errands (etc), this is one of about three days I get all year. If you are an employer, I definitely believe in treating your nanny well and not having her work "just because she is being paid". Any chance I can give my nanny time off, I do! But not tomorrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-1168802801352336232007-01-14T14:26:00.000-05:002007-01-14T14:26:00.000-05:00"Kelly" sounds a lot like a nanny who is mad she h..."Kelly" sounds a lot like a nanny who is mad she has to work on MLK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
