Nanny here - agreed. I’m so tired of just being the help. I’ve been with my family for 15 years and pretty sure my boss would react the same as op. It’s all about YOU.

Why would you stay with someone that long? You are part of the problem.

Never had to use it but it makes me feel better

I live alone and don't own any chairs. I'm going to get that. Thanks!

A counter top will also work. You just need something that you can forcefully push against

I’ve also heard you can use a gallon milk jug midway between zip hood and navel.

She was eating a grape when she started choking. The same grapes she served our toddlers but instead of being cut into fours she ate one whole and choked. We just watched the security camera facing the kitchen and you can literally see the panic set in and she grasps her hands around her neck and stands up trying to cough. She tried to perform the Heimlich on herself with our chair but failed. That’s when she walks out of frame of the camera.

She walked upstairs into our bedroom and banged on the door where my husband said he opened the door to her purple faced and about to pass out. Thankfully we trained for this before we had kids, but never did he expect to perform the Heimlich on an adult. Let alone our nanny. It came out fairly quickly he said and she was ok. Crying but ok. He rushed downstairs where she had left our twins (14 months old) in the high chair where they were eating like nothing happened.

We let her go home early and said maybe she should go to urgent care. Not sure if she did.

I’m glad everything is ok but honestly it makes me scared to have her back here tomorrow. What if DH wasn’t here? What would have happened to my kids? What if they choker? Fell? How can we prevent this again?

Anyone can choke. Your kids were fine in the high chair. YOU could have choked on a grape while home alone with your kids - would you fire yourself from being a parent? Of course not. Shit happens. She doesn't need to go to the ER - even if your husband broke a rib, there's nothing that can be done for it.
