Setting boundaries with nanny

I'm a single dad with a nanny who watches my kid while I'm at work.Most of the time, our interaction is limited to basic pleasantries and the exchange of info bullets about my kid as I'm leaving home in the morning and returning in the evening. We have generally had a cordial relationship... and that's generally how I'd like things to stay.Lately, however, she has begun asking personal questions ("were you out on a date?"), posing borderline inappropriate questions ("how much does your home cost?"), and even making vaguely inappropriate jokes about race and sexual orientation.Obviously, these are all things that would get you frog marched out of any conventional office job. But I recognize that nanny jobs are a little less formal. Nonetheless, it has reached a point that has made me uncomfortable and I think I need to redirect things before they veer off a cliff.In most situations, this would not be too much of a problem. But when you're dealing with someone who cares for your kid and spends all day unsupervised in your home, things require a gentle touch... which has never been my strong suit.Moreover, this is my first kid and my first nanny, so I don't really have an idea of what the norms are. She has worked with other families and I presume that this kind of behavior was ok with them, which is why she's acting like this with me.In any case, I'm curious whether any of you have had similar issues with your caregivers. How did you resolve them? Any particular advice for how I should deal with my situation in a nonaggressive manner? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2FTXxpd
