[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm with you. We've always hired older nannies for this very reason. I cannot handle young kids always on their phones never paying attention to or engaged with kids. I used to see it all the time with nannies at parks and playgrounds. Parents never have a clue and always told me how great their nannies were. Yup.

My advice is to hire an older nanny who may not be as addicted to social media/apps all day (or whose greatest concern is going out at night and meeting people). We hired a nanny at age 55 and she's been with us 10 years. Never had any phone/technology/missed work issues. We count ourselves lucky. [/quote]

Are you sure? I see plenty of older nannies at the park sitting on the bench with their phones. And I see plenty of younger nannies....not doing that. [/quote]

Exactly. Older people are just as if not moreso 'addicted".

Yep my 62yo former nanny was really into Facebook. Granted, she mostly was on it when the baby napped, so I didn't care. [/quote]
