[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so hard because people have very different ideas of what good caretaking includes. I’ve seen good nanny’s who actively sit with children at the playground/walk with them on the equipment, hold their hand going down the slide and would likely think not doing these things is dangerous and inattentive. I’ve also seen good nanny’s who watch from a distance and are responsible but do not interject on play unless there is a reason to.

When she let the child walk in the field was she watching the child and ready to run over if necessary? Was there anything obviously dangerous nearby? And what, specifically, is rough?

I would want to know but I’d get some more specific details so you can provide this.

Some people genuinely think that keeping your distance and not hovering is better for kids, and that's totally reasonable.  And it's certainly not at all clear that it's neglectful.  The roughness is concerning, but I'd want more details.  [/quote]
