I think some mothers (esp ones like Britney who couldn't care less anyway) think the nanny is going to bring up the kid for them, lock, stock and barrel and all they have to do is pay the bills and show up at their birthday parties.
My mother is a nanny and she's had to go on and on to a mother to give her money to go and buy the kid some new socks and shoes `cos her ones were long outgrown and crushing her tiny foot-bones.
The mother eventually handed over some cash and it was left to nanny to take the kid shopping or I guess she'd still be waiting for new footwear.
Needless to say the mother has a wardrobe full of $500 designer shoes herself.............
