Although nannies need to keep some professional discipline to respect boundaries and maintian professional discussion open with the parents it is much harder to do then talk about.

There are so many issues I didnt anticipate before moving into their home. Mostly living where I work makes me feel as if I never have any time off. <BR/>I understand why Lora says to create a contract now but I dont know how to ask the parents to make a contract now because it seems too late. Wont they think I am complaining and am a high maintenance nanny if I ask to make a contract now (six months into the job)?<BR/>My point is that it is easier said than done.<BR/>Julie, Nanny in Greenwich, CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
