"Maria Christopoulos-Katris, president of the Nanny Boutique in Lakeview... gives clients a nanny-family agreement that spells out what each party expects. 'Because it is such an emotionally charged environment, nannies sometimes have a hard time being upfront with families that they've just started working with.
