[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  I am guilty of using my phone when my charges play.  Because I work 13-hour days and my only break is when the kids are happily absorbed in a safe and confined area.  That’s why we go to those places.  I am supervising, but I’ve been doing this for over a decade.  I don’t need to stare at them every second they are awake in order to keep them safe.  If we are doing other activities (going on a hike, touring a museum, creating art, swimming, etc. etc.) then I am on and engaged the whole time.  That is fun too but I can’t sustain it for 65 hours a week.  And believe it or not I AM often doing kid-relatwd things.  I volunteer at their school and need to email and text committee members, I order all their clothes, I order groceries every week and make all of their meals so I need to meal plan and use the instacart app and so on.  Many nannies take on everything a SAH parent does but our standards are often higher since we are professionals.  My charges eat home-cooked meals and only use screens when they are ill.[/quote]
