[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The type of nanny who would agree to this is a desperate nanny.[/quote]

Totally disagree. She would be a professional [/quote]

A professional and experienced nanny would see this for what it is, a controlling neurotic mother who will micromanage everything. Only a desperate or inexperienced nanny would take this position. Plenty of better jobs available. [/quote]

Definitely.

I make $60k+ per year.  I’m clear on my rules for kids and screentime with me: nothing under 2, minimal 3-5 (max 5 minute clip that explains some science), as needed for school later.  I wear an Apple Watch so my phone can be put away as much as possible.  But I’m not agreeing to no phone usage.

The kids ask me to look up and print out coloring pages.  They ask what the biggest worm, bird, spider, etc is.  I use my phone for waze in the car.  I look up recipes and projects.  I purchase gifts, clothes and groceries.  I reserve books, turn on audiobooks and read ebooks aloud.  We turn on Pandora and have dance parties.

I teach the kids that technology is a tool.  It’s up to us to use it responsibly.[/quote]
