Even if you don't like it.<br /><br />That is your problem. You are offended by anything or anyone that doesn't share your view. You want people that never met you to take your side in a simple solution. if you no longer associate with her, then you don't need to worry anymore. <br /><br />Quit being so dramatic and grow up<br /><br />And if she did wear a cape that is not your fucking business. i would like to wear a cape. It would be fun to wear one with a hood and walk around really late on a windy night. <br /><br />Judge me. I don't like people that insult others for being creative. Not everyone needs to share your dull boring interests. <br /><br />You should learn from this nanny you hate so much.

She might as well wear a cape all the time.<br /><br />And if only she was young...mid 30's!!!!<br /><br />I guess a lot of your responses prove the imporortance of being solo in this business. If I meet someone and they mention they are a nanny, I don't really pursue the friendship....and the way people act on this and other nanny sites is the main reason I think nannies have trouble being friends with other nannies.OP bitchesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-43052055991096659662012-06-23T16:48:01.952-04:002012-06-23T16:48:01.952-04:00No sarcasm.

Their friends are good kids, but their nanny is whack. It's not that she's inappropriate, she's just bizarre!! Says some off the wall things, has some untraditional ideas, and most importantly she does NOT stop talking!! I think the problem is she IS a little younger, only 21. Anyways, she drives me nuts! <br />Here are some coping methods I've learned: <br />We meet at the park every week, that way there's plenty of space and I can walk away from her when needed. Yes, sometimes she does follow, but gets the hint when I ignore her.<br />I feel your pain OP, because you must stay cordial with this other nanny or you're gonna have some realllly awkward future play dates!! <br />Im sorry!!!

Nanny number 3 definately has NO choice as her boss and 2's are bff's and the kids are too.<br />I really did phrase my sumbition wrong and now I'm sorry for it.<br />It should have just been a humerous bit about how 2 thinks she is a wizard ever since seeing Harry Potter...she even puts this perfume on to make her seem more wizard like. Or how she is critisized the fact that my lack of owning a mini van makes me not take this job seriously (my boss and i drive the same make and model car). <br />She is just off and I'm so so so sorry if any of you think that I'm dramatic. I DID NOT choose to meet her or 3. I do however choose not to associate with her. Really I was just trying to share a story.

I disagree with luckoftheirish (unless she was being sarcastic) because I think most of the responses here were pretty catty. Why did you need to call the OP names, nashville nanny? That made you just as immature as nanny #2 in OP's story.

Though I can personally say myself that I never experience nanny drama even in my younger years. Have I met nannies I didn't care for? Sure! But I kept my interactions with them brief and professional. Have I had nanny friends? Yes of course. But I never got too personal or intrusive into their lives and vice versa. Our friendships were based on playdates for the kids and brief encounters in the passing. We never gossip or "mess" with each others jobs. Our convos were based around the children or small talk. If 1 of my nanny friends would begin talking about their sex lives I would immediately end the convo or like Lyn suggested say "HEY! There are little ears around". I would also limit my contact with them. And if playdates were schedule with them due to the fact my charges were best friends with them I will explain that I am not comfortable talking about inappropriate topics. <br /><br />Even if the charges are friends with one another a nanny can choose to NOT have their charge around an adult not deemed appropriate or "off". I think a MB would understand and agree with the choice if you explain. And if this other nanny is so "weird" or what have you then perhaps the MB should know how her nanny is truly acting. Not saying that YOU have to be the 1 to relay this message but if I was a mom I would want to know if my nanny was talking about sex and inappropriate things in front of my child. It's totally unprofessional and not to mention wrong.OhhPleasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-728948234791131902012-06-22T15:18:54.930-04:002012-06-22T15:18:54.930-04:00...just wanted to chime in & share that Im imp......just wanted to chime in & share that Im impressed by the maturity level of most responses.
