[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, I would never be out of earshot of a child in my care in the bath at ANY age. If an older child insists on privacy they can have the door closed but, like a PP, I let them know that if they stop talking or singing I will come in to check on them. With three under four currently I do sometimes have to leave the older two in the tub to take care of the baby, but the bathroom door and baby's bedroom door are opposite each other so everyone is within view/10 steps. If I employed a nanny, leaving a young child alone in water would be cause for termination, I'd expect much better judgment than that.[/quote] "ANY age"? That's quite melodramatic. I used to nanny for 3 kids aged 13, 11, and 7. They would often all shower at the same time. I stayed nearby the youngest in case he needed me, but he did everything himself, and it was more habit from having been the one to bathe him up until he got too old/he was a little fearful being alone at night in their large house . If I had told the kids they had to shower one at a time and I was going to stand nearby with the doors open, they would have looked at me like I had three heads. And it would have been pretty inappropriate with the older kids, too. Think back to your childhood: was anyone listening to you shower? [/quote]
