[quote=Anonymous]Do many MBs give there nannies exact play schedules to follow? My nanny gives me the schedule for the following week on the Thursday before, and I write in anything I know of coming up on that schedule. Playdates, fun things I think the babies would like in our area, etc.

Is unreasonable to ask the nanny to only use her phone during nap time or to contact us? The nanny is an adult. You should not have to ask at all. Unless you're employing a 12 yr old, your nanny should be mature enough to put the significant majority of her time into her job.

What is a reasonable amount of time for "individual play" for a 9 month old? A few minutes multiple times throughout the day.

OP, you want your DD to stop being dumped in the playpen? Here's an easy solution: take away the playpen. 
You want your nanny to stop using her phone all the time? Tell her. "Hey Larla, we noticed every time we check the nanny cams to see what Baby Jane is doing, that she's sitting by herself and you're on your phone. We hired you to take care of Baby Jane. Tomorrow during her nap, please put together a list of games appropriate for her developmental stage. Next week, please start rotating through all of them."

If the above isn't done immediately, fire her. You don't need to pay someone to sit on their phone. My nanny is 28 and uses the phone maybe 3-4 times throughout the day at most. [/quote]
