[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, although I think it’s possible to engage with baby while doing other things, like preparing food or folding laundry etc. And if baby is independently playing (like, he or she makes the choice to do so) I think it’s okay for nanny to check her phone for a bit or something. She doesn’t have to disrupt baby’s quiet play just to “engage” him.[/quote] Nanny here and this is the right balance. You don’t want to disrupt a baby who is focused on something like rolling over, picking up a toy, etc. just to babble to them. Most of the time she shouldn’t be on her phone even right beside baby because if the baby looks at nanny for feedback/reassurance, you want her to notice right away and reply, but a stray text here and there shouldn’t be a big deal.[/quote]
