Currently I'm taking care of a 10 month old baby full time. Everything is fine accept - the baby grandma now start doing Russian baby yoga with the baby. I told them I'm not comfortable with this because if anything happened to this baby I'm the one who gets question from the police. I told them also that if I noticed something wrong with the baby I will call the police. The mom told me I don't have to worry.
Please give me advice. I'm start looking for a new family now. Thank you *you can search what is Russian Baby Yoga on the internet. |

First, put it in writing like an email that you are concerned about the Russian baby yoga, but in a natural way so as not to alert MB that you are creating a paper trail. Then QUIT as soon as you can. |

| This is potentially child abuse. I'd get a new job and report the family to CPS. |

| Never heard of Russian baby yoga. It sounds stupid, but what's it about? And why is anyone doing it? |

"Do not try this at home . . . These prolonged and extreme jerking motions in a very small infant could potentially damage joints and even lead to shaken baby syndrome." Link http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/19/try-home-russian-baby-swinging-yoga.html |

Tell her to play Russian roulette instead hahaha
After many years of being a nanny and going through a lot of bad things myself...I'm actually surprised to find another helpless case of crazy nutty families lol You're right, if something bad happens to the child- you go to jail, and of course you will be blamed because "we paid you to take care of our child." Once something happens to a child, mothers freak out, which I understand, but who is the easiest to blame? Nanny. It's up to you, I don't think they're trying to harm the baby, it might just be that the grandma thinks it's a good exercise, unfortunately this is dangerous. So I would suggest you quit if you're not comfortable with that, and if not, at least have witnesses or something during the exercises and see if they can do it while you're off duty. Good luck! |

Oh and if I may add, always keep everything in writing, best emails or text. Like the other poster said, email
Her that you're concerned. Print and save the emails in case you end up in Russian court haha |
