[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t understand how this happens. I’m a nanny and work 12-16hrs a day and I’m always behind the kids like a helicopter. Whenever I see YouTube videos of kids covered in flour or painting on the walls, I don’t understand how that happens- unless you’re lazy and not following your kids around? I’ve been a nanny for 22 years and I’ve never had a broken bone or major fall or big mess, because I’m always supervising the kids. If I had my own, I’d be doing the same. It’s lazy parenting. [/quote] You get paid to follow kids around and watch them like a hawk. It's your JOB to not take your eyes off of your charges. Something happens to a kid in your care, you're fired and possibly deported. It sucks but the same doesn't hold true for parents. Parents are never OFF and occasionally eyes are taken off of children. My comment is not specific to pools and drownings but more so in response to your smug ass comments about not one child getting hurt in your care in 22 years. That is why you are paid; to make sure the children stay safe. You're not a surrogate parent. You're not a faux aunt. You're not a family member. You're like the person who runs the theme park ride; you make sure the riders are buckled in safely and hope for the best. I'm so sick of you smug nannies castigating parents and judging.[/quote] Everyone claims being a SAHM is a proper job though? The #1 responsibility then is to ensure the safety of the child.[/quote]
