[quote=Anonymous]Nanny of 15 years here. I use my phone for:

-Music to dance to
-Recipes
-Weather
-Craft instructions
-Arranging playdates
-Keeping parents updated

I had a job that said NO phone use in my contract and happily respected it. One day, the mom came FLYING in the door SCREAMING at me because there had been a family emergency and she had been trying to reach me all morning. She needed the kids packed so she could leave town with them immediately and my phone was away in my purse per my contract.

In another position, a child choked. She was having pretzels like she had been eating for years, but she laughed and snorted one that got lodged in her throat. She was making absolutely no noise and her lips were turning blue. I will never ever forget the look of shear panic on her face. I was so incredibly thankful that my phone was in my back pocket and I was able to dial 911 quickly while doing the Heimlich. I absolutely did not have spare seconds to go search for my phone.[/quote]
