[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.

My job priorities:
1. Children’s safety: Sounds like your nanny is fine here.
2. Children’s education: Dud.  Reading and interaction are key.
3. Children’s emotional growth: Dud.  Interaction is imperative.
4. Children’s physical growth: Dud.  Sticking a child in a chair for 30 minutes?  Really?
5. Children’s nutrition: You didn’t say anything about this.
6. Children’s life skills: Dud.  You can’t teach a child to dress themself or take a bath/shower without interaction.
7. Upkeep of children’s areas: You don’t say anything about this.
8. Children’s entertainment: Ok, so kids do need self-structured play.  But they also need adult interaction.
9. Timeliness: Dud.  Always 10 minutes late?!  It may be less important to me, but that doesn’t mean I’ve ever been more than 3 minutes late twice in a week.

I use my phone frequently with kids.  We look up lyrics and pictures of huge spiders, play Pandora, listen to people speak in other languages, read books on overdrive, etc.  I don’t sit on my phone while kids play; I will read on my phone while kids read their books or on their devices before we discuss what were reading.[/quote]
