[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Enjoyed reading all the responses.

The nannies I see at these play areas usually have kids 3 and under. Kids this age usually need a little more supervision since they tend to parallel play more than play with each other. It's really sad because I see the kids coming up to their nannies to play and the nanny just brushes them off and tells them to play by themselves.

I'm not a career nanny or a mom but I do nanny during my breaks from school for other families. I'm also getting my doctorate in child psychology so I'm not an expert but I know a thing or two about kids. [/quote]

OP, I hope you save this post so you can come back and laugh at it when you have kids of your own.[/quote]

OP here. I don't see why I would come back and laugh at this post when I have my own kids. I know kids are hard but a job is a job. You shouldn't be on your phone 2-3 hours a day and ignoring the kids. Like a previous poster said, most of the nannies I've seen are chatting away on their phones for hours in their native language. I'm not even talking about SAH moms. I feel like it's even harder for them since they manage the household plus watch the kids so I get it if they're on their phones for a bit. The SAH moms I've seen don't ignore their kids though if their child wants them to play. [/quote]

If you’re giving a pass to SAH moms then I’m giving a pass to nannies. I’ve seen terrible parents out and about with their kids. I’ve seen them allow their children to hit and push others, take toys from others, throw tantrums, and allow their child to hit and yell at them. I’ve seen parents not pay attention to their child but instead talk with their friends all the while their children are terrorizing the play area. [/quote]
