[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Enjoyed reading all the responses.

The nannies I see at these play areas usually have kids 3 and under. Kids this age usually need a little more supervision since they tend to parallel play more than play with each other. It's really sad because I see the kids coming up to their nannies to play and the nanny just brushes them off and tells them to play by themselves.

I'm not a career nanny or a mom but I do nanny during my breaks from school for other families. I'm also getting my doctorate in child psychology so I'm not an expert but I know a thing or two about kids. [/quote]

OP, I hope you save this post so you can come back and laugh at it when you have kids of your own.[/quote]

OP here. I don't see why I would come back and laugh at this post when I have my own kids. I know kids are hard but a job is a job. You shouldn't be on your phone 2-3 hours a day and ignoring the kids. Like a previous poster said, most of the nannies I've seen are chatting away on their phones for hours in their native language. I'm not even talking about SAH moms. I feel like it's even harder for them since they manage the household plus watch the kids so I get it if they're on their phones for a bit. The SAH moms I've seen don't ignore their kids though if their child wants them to play. [/quote
MB here. I honestly think your post seems a bit tinged with anti immigrant sentiment. My family has had two nannies whose native language was English and family is here. They may have been on the phone for hours each day but it would have been in their native language of English. Also as a mom I have been on my phone a lot. But I am sure there are some mommy martyrs out there doing it all right. But op before my kids were born I had it all figured out, but I am .. so .. tired now.  But so much smarter as a parent too. Hold your judgement.  You can be sure you will not be my babysitter.[/quote]
