Nanny waited in the shade and put baby in the sun while standing in line

You're being a bit intense to assume the worst like that.

Instruct her to always be aware of heat, sun exposure, and also, very chilly air conditioning (like don't place baby right in front of a vent of cold air). And if your nanny drives your baby anywhere, insist that she should NEVER leave the baby in the car without her for any length of time, and watch that sun doesn't fall on the baby's side of the car for too long.

A toddler in a stroller on a spring day is not the same as a child locked in a car.

Why is a baby going to storytime at the library? Toddler of course they love it! A baby gets zero out of this excursion.

OP said the "baby" was 12 months old.

I’ll be honest-I would be looking to give her notice and find a new nanny bc that’s crazy stupid. And the fact that she sent you a pic means she has no idea how stupid.

A 2 year old on a high 70s day that felt warm? Not thrilled. A 3 month old in the 90s? Fire immediately.

12 month old on a high 70s day that was hot in direct sun. What should I do or say?

Is the nanny your employee or do you know the parents and saw it? If the latter, I would want to be told, but in a way that makes it clear the person telling me will understand that I get to do what I want with the information.

My employee. She sent me a video of her doing this. (The video was from her perspective of her in the shade, and showed the baby in the stroller in the line.) DH says to give her the benefit of the doubt and that maybe she just sent me the video to show that there was a line.

Quit your job and take care of your own kid. I would never expect anyone to stand in sun for 15 minutes and you don't know how long your child was in the sun. My rep complaining and you will be looking for a new nanny.

I'd like to think that. She is a new nanny so it is hard to tell. It's not just really about sun protection, it's about a fundamental lack of care and thoughtfulness. She is putting herself before the baby.

I've only found one nanny in 13 years who treated my children like they were her own and didn't put herself first. She's a mom herself but her kids are out of the house now. All of the others would have done what you described.

Wait, what? You asked her, she told you it was just for a video...and you are still posting here because you think she's lying?

Honestly, if you think she's lying to you, then you need to find a new nanny. Not because she did anything wrong, but because it's only going to get worse if you don't trust her.

No, that was an update after my initial post. I hadn’t asked her when I first posted. I don’t think she is lying.

Oh my god, OP, you sound insufferable. Is this your 2nd or 3rd nanny?

[Anonymous]

Maybe she sunscreened the baby but not herself. OR maybe you're reading way too much into the situation...

People like you are the worst. I stand by my comment that I thought you were nuts, but this confirms it. You’ll look for the worst and assume the worst. Your nanny did something nice and sent you a cute video of your child in line. However, you jumped to a dramatic, incorrect and crazy conclusion about the baby waiting in the sun and your nanny chilling in the shade.

I can’t imagine what you’re assuming in other situations when this is what you assume on an innocuous situation. Maybe you should stay home and raise your own child.

How do you know it was for 15 min? Maybe she took a video and then pulled the stroller in the shade. If it was for entire 15 min and the nanny kept 20 ft away from my kid then she would not be my nanny anymore. In that case,I am sorry, I would have to say you hired a stupid person.

Babies cry and disrupt the story time.

You are a PITA and I hope the nanny finds a better job working for someone sane.
