[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a family with twins who were about 14 mo old. I just did 1 day a week or so while the parents were in residency. Their other nanny was in her early 70s and it was a disaster IMO. She was from another country, so that could be part of it--different cultural rules. She didn't have the kids on any kind of schedule for napping. They would fall asleep the second I put them in the stroller because they'd been up since 5 am. She expected them to stay awake until a mid afternoon nap which is ridiculous. If they didn't eat as much as she thought they should, she'd shove spoonfuls of peanut butter in their mouths which can be a choking hazard. I went to help with laundry and instead of laundry pods (or any appropriate laundry soap) she was using dishwasher pods. It was just so weird. It got to the point that I'd come home to find dry pans on a hot stove and walk away. This is definitely something I'd be leery of. [/quote]
