[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you asking if a Nanny should be doing unpaid assigned/ “suggested”  reading on their off hours? 
Something else? [/quote]

OP here.  I’m asking because our nanny does and I think it’s extraordinary.  Anytime a new issue comes up, she researched it.  She’ll send me articles she finds interesting or directly pertains to my kids.  I really love that about her.  I was just wondering if other nannies do it. [/quote] what issue is she looking up? If my Nanny were constantly looking things up I would be concerned. I guess if my kid got labeled with a SN I would expect her to do some research in handling it… but other than that, I expect her to know things. [/quote]

Ugh.  Such a typical idiot DCUM response.  “Constantly”?  Who said constantly?  And as a parent, do you never research topics that come up or read a new article?

OP, your nanny sounds wonderful and devoted to your kids best interest.  [/quote] OP said “ anytime a new issue comes up” like what? [/quote]

NP. I’m wondering the same thing. Like, is it basic issues like sleep, feeding, etc? I look those up bc I’m an amateur parent, but I feel like a “pro” nanny actually knows this stuff already and shouldn’t have to look it up. UNLESS the nanny does know it already and is just giving the mom evidence for her approach. But if nanny is regularly looking up other issues, then that sounds like your child has problems? And if your child has problems, seems like the parent should be on top of it, not nanny?[/quote]
