[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My charge went through a few month long period where he did the same thing. I started just putting him down twice a day for an hour each time whether he slept or not so I could eat, relax and get things done that are hard to do when he's awake (taking out trash, cleaning outside toys etc). Sometimes he slept and sometimes he played or[b] fussed[/b] but I just need those breaks since I work almost 11hours straight. It's essential to get a break so I'd advise the same for you! Good luck.[/quote]

That is kinda mean to put a baby down in his bed fussing just so you can get a break, but I partially blame the parents for giving you other duties to perform as well.

Parents need to wake up + realize that every chore they assign their nanny is a precious moment they are taking away from their child. Attention should be a number one priority for their child, but sadly parents just want to stretch their dollar.

They want their laundry, dishes, trash, etc. taken care of but what they do not realize is that all the time the nanny takes doing that is time she could have spent blowing bubbles w/your child and reading silly stories.  :cry:

In my current job, my focus in only on the child.

No laundry, dishes, nothing.

Sure, common sense dictates I wash whatever dishes I use and pick up any toys played with during my shift.

But her parents do not expect me to do her laundry or take out their garbage while she naps.

They want me to eat my lunch and relax because when she wakes up, they want me to be refreshed and rejuvenated for the second part of our day.

Happy Nanny = Happy Child.
