[quote=Anonymous]Op you are breaking the law by filming this woman without her consent. And it sounds like you can hear them also going by your op which is also illegal.

By the way what more would you like for a non professional nanny to be doing while your child plays and is in her own world? I have a 3 yr old son that adores playing independently and whenever I try to "play with him" he hates it because I'm disturbing his imaginary set up. So when I have a sitter over for date nights or a few hours through out the week I don't mind that she browses her phone when he is playing as long as he is engaged. When he eats he shouldn't be talking so I don't mind that either. Our sitter or mothers helper, does put it away during crafts and story time though when she is doing an adult led activity or when I look out on them when he is playing in the back yard. But I guess I just don't see what the big deal is? Should she just stare at your daughter and be bored when your daughter is obviously wrapped up in being a kid?

I remember growing up I would always be playing with my toys at certain times of the day and a grownup didn't need to sit right there in my face watching me. My mother etc could be fixing dinner, crocheting, watching Oprah, making calls, or ironing for the next day. My babysitter would talk on the phone to her boyfriend until I actually needed her for something.

I just don't see the big deal if your daughter is safe and entertained. [/quote]
