Uncomfortable around children's father...

[PumpkinPie14]

I work as a Nanny for a teacher. They're a lovely family, however during the holidays I feel really uncomfortable having him there all day with me.

Not so much because he is constantly watching me (which he is!) - but more because of some of his remarks!

He notices things about me personally, which I don't even think my own partner would notice; such as a slight change in my hair colour, if I wear new make-up (hardly noticeable eye-shaddow ) or any change of clothing.

He also thinks it's funny that one of the children calls me mum- I am discouraging this. He just seems like he's acting a bit too familiar especially when he comes home with presents for me.

Am I just being paranoid?! Is he just being nice?

Ps - he does have a wife! And he acts different when she's there...

I'd be very wary of him, it's the acting differently when his wife is there that would be red flagging it for me.

Oh Dear OP. How old are you? I only mean this as in do you feel confident enough to confront him about his weird unwanted behaviour? I have had a very difficult relationship with one father always hanging around but my present dad is lovely...we have a right laugh and talk a lot (he works in office in house). BUT he has NEVER made a personnel remark and I have never felt uncomfortable. He does buy me little things like books he knows I will like but it is made clear they are from him and his wife. I seriously suggest you have a talk with him. It will be hard but if he is being friendly, you'll both feel a little embarrassed but get over it. If on the other hand he is being to overfamiliar then he needs a warning that you are not available. Good luck.

Be very careful. I had one Dad who acted like your describe and when I confronted him he just carried on (tbh it was worse than before). I lost my job when the 7yr old told the mum "Daddy always comes home early on nanny days. He likes spending time with nana. He loves her". the Dad told her I'd been leading him on. The mum said I was his "type" and she was amazed I'd lasted that long.
In an interview with just the Dad i've been asked about "Daddy duties".
