[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will eventually look for a nanny who knows how to use her phone. Just depends how long you want this job?[/quote]

So if I understand you correctly, nannies should NEVER even LOOK at their phones when their charges are around BUTTTT they need to be on call for you 24/7 because you are too lazy to look for Johnny's mittens or discern for yourself when the last time the diaper genie was emptied? Give me a effen break.

OP, you should not feel bad for one second.  If you are gracious enough to respond, that is lovely, if you aren't able to it shouldn't be a deal breaker of any kind. I am pretty up front with new families on my off hours phone policy which is that unless it is an emergency, I am not answering texts or calls between the time I leave their house until 30 minutes before I arrive the next morning.  It's a slippery slope to weekend texts and late night calls asking if I can go over to the house and check on the kids because DH hasn't answered his phone for a few hours (yes this really happened).
