AIBU to ask the nanny to do babysitting?

AIBU to ask the nanny to do babysitting? Our nanny has been great for 2 months with our 2 children during the week. We’d love some occasional evening/weekend babysitting to go on the odd date night. Is it too much to ask her, or should we look elsewhere? Don’t want to be unfair, but a couple of times each month would be amazing. Thoughts?

Just ask them and say no pressure but I wanted to offer it to you first but we are looking for someone to babysit a couple of times a month would you be interested or is that too much for you. Then agree a rate if she is.

It’s definitely worth asking! She might be glad to have the extra work. If not, she can always just say no.
