[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This commonplace acceptance of nannies and parents on their phones when they should be watching or engaged with their children has to stop.  Newsflash:  you really can work without looking at your phone for hours at a time.  Aside from the dangers of not paying attention outside or in public places, [b]I can’t believe that phone use will not have a negative effect on little kids who can intuit that mommy or nanny’s phone is more interesting or important than they are.

Yes! This makes me so sad. Working from home is hard. I am in the house and I know my kids are in the house with the nanny and I see so much more than I did before COVID. I'll walk into a room and see my toddler playing by himself and my nanny looking at her phone and then snap to it when she notices me (usually its when my son says MOMMY!). I have some weird a$$ guilt about confronting her because I understand how draining caring for a toddler and a newborn can be. But it eats at me. And here's my question for people who say you can avoid this by paying high $$ for a nanny: What is the dollar amount? Because I think we pay pretty well.[/quote]

Imagine when you aren't there. Can you put the kids in preschool or a more structured program? There are many good ones which will benefit your kids much more than a babysitter.[/quote]
