[quote=Anonymous]You will not succeed at this. You either need to get comfortable with it or find a new nanny. This is something you should discuss in interviews. Even if you talk to her and she reduces phone use while around you, she will still be on her phone all the time when alone with your child. Also, be wary of what other parents say about their nanny’s phone use. I’d say about 50% of all nannies where I live are like this— on their phones all the time. They are people and this is a common issue. Lots of people are easily disengaged when caring for young kids. You do the math. If you want a nanny who isn’t in her phone all the time, (1) pay very well, (2) hire someone who has a great rapport with your kid and seems genuinely interested in talking to and playing with your child, (3) check those references.[/quote]
