[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that a lot of nannies on this board talk about the way they do things like for example no screen time, only giving the children organic healthy none processed home made food ect. However in my experience this is not how every family operates. Most of the families that I have nannied for let their children watch a few hrs of tv per day. They feed their children juice, sugary cereal, frozen pizza, cookies ect.

If you lead with an only organic/ no proceeded food attitude you might be insulting potential employers and then in turn not getting hired. Just something to think about [/quote]

I think this is a great point.  I am a MB and my daughter is less than a year old so there isnt exactly screen time or pizza yet, but my general theory has been do what you need to do to get by.  My number one priority is safety, but other than that, I feel like the nanny is in charge when I'm not home and as long as she is treating my daughter well and keeping her safe, then we're all good.  And we get along well because of that.  However, if she came into the interview with a holier than thou attitude about certain items, I would have thought she would be trumping my parenting decisions or looking down upon them.  Thats just not the recipe for a good relationship.

Just in case, I would let the parents take the lead on organic, screen time, etc and not assume everyone is a DCUM'r.[/quote]
