[quote=Anonymous]I have been a nanny for over 10 years.  I have been with my current family for over 3.  My 13 month old charge began choking on a small piece of toast yesterday during breakfast. I just renewed my CPR certification and thankfully it was fresh in my mind.  He turned blue and I jumped up, placed him tummy down in my arms and gave him 3 hard whacks to the back, when the toast finally flew out of his mouth. He was very upset, but was otherwise fine.  Later in the day he developed a small bruise on his back where I smacked his back.  DB is always the first one home.  I told him about what happened and that my charge has a bruise.  He thanked me profusely and said "that is exactly why we hired you."  He said he'd tell MB.
I didn't see MB this morning, as she had already left.  This morning she sent me a text saying that I had hit my charge's back too hard and that she was upset that he was bruised.  I checked the bruise and it is very, very small and faint. I don't quite know what to say, as I had done everything I could to prevent him from choking.  I always cut his food into small bites and monitor him while he eats to be sure that he doesn't shovel food into his mouth.  Am I wrong to think that MB is out of line? Does she just not want me to save him next time?[/quote]
