[quote=Anonymous]When I was a SAHM to my toddler, I would take her to the bathroom with me and then also make her use her portable potty in the bathroom. This is how I toilet trained my own kid without leaving her alone when she was little and I had to use the bathroom.

The nanny is in the same position. She is human and needs to go to the bathroom multiple times during the day. She cannot leave the kid alone and she cannot disturb you WFH parents either.

I think there can be some workarounds if you do not want your toddler in the same bathroom as her when she is pooping or changing her tampons.

1) Give her the larger bathroom for her use so the baby is not in close proximity to her when she is using the bathroom

2) Build in some bathroom breaks into her day, when you can relieve her for 15 minutes or so. Let her know that you will take care of the baby in that period.

3) Build a secure playpen where the nanny can leave the kid for 15 minute. Maybe the playpen can be close to where you work so you can keep an eye.

Wow! So you guys are WFH and you don't get tempted to spend even some time with your kid or give a break to the nanny?  Well, I am sure your kid inhaling the nanny's aerosolized poop particles is not the worst problem in the kid's life.

The nanny is fulfilling the role of the parent and so it is A-ok if she is doing what moms all around the world do - leave their kid in the crib when they are immobile or take them in the bathroom with them.
