[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday my charge, twenty-one-months, at I were at a play museum (lots of different stations and areas for free play).  A 2.5 year old was there with a foreign nanny who was texting constantly.  Her charge saw my charge and I having fun and laughing so of course the 2.5 year old wanted to join us.  The problem was that this 2.5 year old refused to play with my charge and actually only wanted to play with me.  He basically stalked us from one station to another.  At one point, he raised his fist to my charge.  Then I told his nanny to please keep him away from us and that he was too aggressive.  Her poor charge was crying hysterically as she carted him off.

The sad truth is I see this all the time.  Other nannies charges so ignored in the library and park that they always want to play and interact with me.  I am happy to play with other children IF AND ONLY IF it benefits my own charge.  It is truly heartbreaking to see these little ones trying to get my attention and approval while their nannies (in every case I have witnessed it was a foreign nanny) text or talk to each other while ignoring their charge completely.

Parents should know what their bargain-basement-nanny is doing while they are out and about.  Pop in and watch them for a distance and see for yourselves.  [/quote]

I, as a nanny, experience this same thing every day.  While I feel so sorry for the lonely little kid looking for attention and someone to play with, if playing with that lost little kid doesn't help my charge I simply cannot do it.  It is heartbreaking and all parents should absolutely check up on their nannies.  [/quote]
