The one time she was reading a book to DD was in the library. The times I caught her on her phone were - when she was pushing the stroller down the sidewalk, in the park, in the playground of a local school and sitting in a Starbucks with DD next to her.

One more time and she is fired.

Where did you HIRE her from?

I think you are a ridiculous MB or you are a troll. There is no way that I would continue to employ my nanny if I caught her ignoring my child that much.

Your text/phone challenges make me happy that I hired a 48 y/o nanny who still uses an old school flip phone and has no social media accounts . She has over 20 years of experience and is expensive, but I've only seen her on her phone once.

I can see your point OP, but if my bosses were checking up on me, I would hope that they would do a very good job of hiding it because if I ever found out about it, it wouldn't sit well with me.

If I felt like they were spying on me, or asking someone else to do so, I would feel the trust would be broken between us for good.

So parents if you do go this route, don't get sloppy.

Not PP but you should get out more. The "nanny on her cell phone in public" is the new normal. Maybe because of nanny cams in the house they feel this is the only time to text without getting caught. I honestly don't know but it is comical to see a row of nannies texting in the park or texting/talking on their phones while they are walking.

You understand the difference is that the nanny is being paid and has a job. You cannot compare the two.

You understand that child care IS a job,
regardless of who's doing it.

Issue is that child care isn't a job that requires constant attention and engagement. Kids can play alone and being on the phone for 20 minutes at the park isn't a problem, being paid or not.

Parents are NOT WORKING when they are with their children. A nanny IS WORKING when she is with her employer's children.

Now that really isn't that hard to understand, is it? I PAY YOU to tend to my children. Don't worry about what I do on my off hours with my kids - that is not your concern.

Yes, I am an employer and I say it does. Some of you nannies need to grow up and realize that you have a boss to answer to and your opinion on when you can and cannot take your eyes off your charges does not matter.

You need a mental health professional to help you.

No, being a mother is a lifelong relationship for which I am not paid. Nanny and I do NOT do the same job.

I expect you both feed the child at mealtime, no?

When they were still in the stroller, she would just leave them in the stroller, and talk or text on her phone. She is usually there for about 30 minutes. Her charges try to get her attention and she ignores them. I am willing to bet that this nanny walks far enough away from their building so her employers can't see her and sits her butt down - then tells the parents that she took the kids for a walk.

I know this is not at the level of child abuse. I know I don't have all the facts. The nanny may work for horrible parents and get paid minimum wage but that is no reason to ignore little kids.

I am a nanny and generally side with nannies -- but I see no problem checking up on any nanny to make sure she is doing what she says she is doing, myself included.

Very gossipe lady,I don't believe you not stay on the phone too,rsrsrs...

Some nannies are lifelong relationships with the child, FYI.
