[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now we see who the people that are cheating the system are. Ladies, we can hear your babies crying and kids whining in the background. I get that it's summer and I had my kids home for a week earlier this summer, but during the school year you have NO excuses. Nope, we know your kid is home full time and not "home sick". You can only get away with that excuse so many times before someone figures it out.[/quote]

Even though I worked from home, I had a nanny from 8 weeks until preschool. Was she supposed to smother my baby when he cried in the distance during a conference call? Not all of us are scamming the system.[/quote]

Same, I had a nanny until my youngest went to kindergarten. I would regularly be interrupted because the kids would run up into my room, crying or yelling, or just wanting to tell me a story. Especially after school let out. There's a recent similar thread asking for advice on how to make the nanny keep the kids out, and that person was told that it's not the nanny's job to keep the kids away. Basically that it's an unrealistic expectation for a nanny to keep the kids away from the parent working. There's really just no winning.[/quote]
