[quote=Anonymous]Summer nanny is a 24 yr old former camp counselor. Lots of camp experience. Not much nanny experience. When she started I explained that our two boys, ages 11 and 9, can stay home alone for brief periods of time, as in long enough to drop off their sister at a playground program ten minutes away. And during this time they are equipped with a cell phone and both have taken "home alone" classes and know what the rules are.

Today, she decided that she would leave our six year old daughter home alone while she went to pick up my oldest child from camp. Round trip she would have been gone at least 25 minutes, and my guess is it was more like 40-45. I found this out because my daughter happened to mention it at dinner.

Summer nanny is nice enough but this seems like a significant lapse in judgment to me. My just-turned-9 yr old shouldn't be out in the position of babysitting a 6 yr old. Nanny was within ten to fifteen minutes of our house the whole time but still...she left them alone.
