When I fall asleep on the sofa my nanny has a habit of touching my head and then walking off when I wake up. This is a very personal touch. It's a bit creepy so I was wondering whether anyone else out there has a similar experience.

Apart from that she is very good at her job of taking care of my 1 year old.

touching head in thai culture is disrespect.

maybe your nany is good but probably it's her way of saying 'pay me more for my work'

Hide a camera and film her doing it, then post it on here!

giving a serious answer to the question (heaven forbid), i would say that she 'likes' you and wants to make a move. could be wrong, but thats what i would be thinking.

hopr you dont have a rabbit. you may find it in the pot one day...

Hard to put a finger on this one.

Nannies that perform 24 hr a day child care really miss out on a lot of interaction from similar aged people.

Looking after baby & watching Thai soaps all day can be almost a prison sentence for some people & even though they try and tough it out to live up to their responsibilities, sometimes a little physical contact can have great effects on one's self esteem. (I am a human, not a robot!)

Soundman.

nannys need love too

you may not realize it but she is your wife as well and probably loves you just as much

its a natural reaction to living in close quarters and caring for your child

treat her as such while avoiding offending your big wife

(ie.. show her love when your wife is not in the room)

While I agree with your sentiment this "(ie.. show her love when your wife is not in the room)" may not be very appropriate!

I wouldn't worry about it, it's probably nothing much and she probably considers herself a part of the family. Maybe she thinks it will bring her good luck.

Maybe you're snoring too loud.

I've got this housekeeper who's an absolute little cracker and she's not laid a finger on me yet. :o

Seriously maybe she likes the feel of your hair, mine's really fine and I've had a few Asian girls who were just friends run their hand over it.

Blonde and red hair is a source of wonderment for Thais.....

It could be that it is the colour of the hair that is causing the attraction.

Maybe that explains the attraction over the years.... :o Nothing to do with my fat gut, grizzly personality & smelly feet! :D

Or maybe she considers you to be worthy of a gentle pat, like the kid. I often pat the dog or cat when I leave the room. Unless you are otherwise encouraging her, I wouldn't worry. People have their own peculiar habits. If you are a bit jittery, show some affection to your wife in front of her, and casually mention how much you love your wife and are soooooooo lucky to have her, when its just you and the nanny in the room. She'll get the hint.
