Ours is friends with another girl who nannies and has done playdates there and here. She did ask me if it was OK beforehand, and I had no issue with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178313 Thu, 14 May 2015 13:15:17 +0000 Beehive 2178313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, DS has lots of friends through our nanny that we've never met! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178245 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:45:19 +0000 Meowkers 2178245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: exactly! If it was at a park, I may be ok with it. But I would not feel comfortable with DD going over to someone's house who I didn't know or having strangers come to our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178172 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:17:38 +0000 Madison43 2178172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We have multiple playdates a week and the nannies handle that amongst themselves. </p> <p>We moved to a new town in August - if my LO only played with people I knew, she'd have no friends to play with! The nannies in our area are a network of their own - they all know each other and how old the other's charges are. Because of that network, my daughter had 4-5 other kids her same age to play with ... Pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178151 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:10:18 +0000 bushelandapeck 2178151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I trust her judgement and she does this once or twice a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178147 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:09:35 +0000 mrbee 2178147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We realized that we had to trust our nanny's judgment, otherwise it wasn't gonna work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178142 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:07:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2178142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I would be very uncomfortable with my kids going to a play date with people I've never met. I might be more ok if it was in a public place like a park. I feel that's my job not the nannys'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2178132 Thu, 14 May 2015 12:03:54 +0000 travelingnanny 2178132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I make all the playdates arrangements for our playdates with my nanny/ parent group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2177928 Thu, 14 May 2015 10:13:56 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2177928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2177842 Thu, 14 May 2015 09:36:11 +0000 Cole 2177842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a nanny for a long time and we did about fifty fifty with me setting up play dates vs the parents doing it. It was rare for me to set something up when the parents hadn't met the other family before but I know one time we made arrangements to do a play date at the park by their house and the mom popped by at the end on her way home from work to meet them which was a good compromise in my opinion. </p> <p>Frequently other parents would drop their kids off at "our" house but they all knew me and on the rare occasion we hadn't met the mom did let them know I was going to be the one watching the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-playdates#post-2177775 Thu, 14 May 2015 09:10:51 +0000 ElbieKay 2177775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your nanny wants to schedule a playdate with another nanny and baby, do you contact the other set of parents first to check in? </p>
