[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I am a WAHM with a nanny I truly adore.  My 8 month old son really loves her too.  She's been with us for 3 months now.  In the past week or so, I've noticed she's been on her phone a bit (1-2 times a day).  I have to go into the kitchen a few times a day to get food, water etc, which is when I see/hear her on the phone.  I haven't said anything because:

1) I don't really know if it's unreasonable to say "no" phone time.  It's a long day with an infant.  I get it.
2) Because I am home all day, I do not want to get into a situation where I feel like I'm policing her.  I don't think that would be a healthy situation.  
3) I really like her, and we have a great mom/nanny relationship (at least in my eyes) and I don't want to jeopardize it by reprimanding her.

However, I do wish the phone calls were limited, and my son sleeps ~3 out of the 9 hours she's here so there is theoretically plenty of time to have important phone conversations.

So should I say anything?  And if so, is there a way to phrase it to indicate that I understand this will happen from time to time, but that I'd prefer she talk during his naps?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you![/quote]
