[quote=Anonymous]We had a WONDERFUL nanny when my kids were little. My number one priority was safety and child development and that was her focus as well--she set up our basement as an art studio, playroom, etc and did a ton of activities (she used to work in a daycare). She also took them out all the time, in most weather, and got together with other kids for socialization (as well as for her, so she was not alone all day). She took them to the museum and the zoo and other places as well, She read with them, taught them letters and numbers, sang with them, played games and ran with them, etc

. While we never asked her to do more than childcare on her own accord she would often use nap time to tidy up--generally tidy up the kitchen and downstairs as well as the kids room. She cleaned up kid messes but often even more. I would always thank her for doing extra stuff on occasion (vacuum, fold our laundry, etc) and said she really didn't need to, but she said she liked to be busy. We paid her well and treated her well and she treated us like gold--we were so lucky. We did have house cleaners for deep cleaning but she helped manage the chaos of a house with small kids.

at a bare minimum, OPs nanny should not be on her phone/putting kid in front of screen 2 hours a day. if she's lucky she will find a nanny who likes to stay busy. [/quote]
