[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So do quiet time. My nanny gets an hour break while my 3 year old and 5 year old play with toys, read books, do whatever in their rooms. She occasionally has to tell someone to stop doing something noisy, but mostly she naps or works on the class she's taking (I know this because I WAH, and I generally get my lunch at that time so as not to make a pest of myself).

We started doing quiet time when my oldest was about 15 months old. We were on vacation and he wouldn't nap. We put him in a child-proof space with some books and toys, and he played. That child was always good at playing alone. With a child who wasn't used to it, I would start with a short quiet time and work up to an hour.

We stopped my 3-year-old's naps for the same reason, and we had to do quiet time in a different room or she would fall asleep. She still does sometimes, but I figure that in that case she must be very sleepy.[/quote]

Probably shouldn't have your nanny napping while your 3 and 5 year olds play alone[/quote]

Spaces are familiar and child-proofed, they can get themselves to the bathroom, she's napping where she can hear them... I don't really see the problem.[/quote]
