[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good employee does their job. Many nannies are terrible employees. They focus first on entertaining themselves and putting forward weak rationalizations for their poor behavior. There is no benefit to a newborn tagging along on nanny play dates or running errands with a nanny. A good employee finds way to make their position valuable. They don't jealously their right to sit on a couch for half the day.

A good nanny is a good employee that knows how to do her job. She understands that she is not the center of the universe. She offers valuable insight to parents but in the end follows their directions because she is the employee not the employer. She takes responsibility for her own actions. She is dependable.

Most nannies are not good employees or good nannies. [/quote]
So if a nanny is taking care of a newborn baby and they stay in the house all day why can't the nanny sit on the couch? What should she be doing? Usually I am on the couch holding the baby or watching it sleep in a bouncy chair. Is that looked down on if all other child related things are done like laundry and cleaning bottles. You can't really have it both ways you can't say don't leave the house but oh ya don't sit down either. Standing up all day holding a newborn in no way benefits the baby more then the nanny sitting.[/quote]
