Being Friends with your Niece's nanny...

Tweet

My brother have an 8-month old baby; he and his wife decided to get a nanny because they are both working. When the nanny finally came, i was asked to train her while they both work and so i did. I trained her for 2 months and showed her the routine. she was about 9 years older than me and as the time passed, i saw her work and was very pleased with her. she was hard working, patient and had the initiative. And because she had to be away from her family (because we were overseas), I listened to everything she relayed. How she misses her 2 kids and her husband, likewise she listened to me about how i missed my mom and my younger siblings. because of that, we shared the same sentiments and became friends. when we were in the airport and i was to go back home, she was the one crying and not my brother nor my sister in law. haha. I was just wondering what you think about having a friendly relationship with your maids or nannies... do you think its improper? thanks in advance
