[quote=Anonymous]I know the nannies will hate me for saying this, but I suggest you get a nest cam and observe the nanny for extended periods over the course of a day.  Contract can limit phone usage, nanny can promise you not to use her phone except as necessary, but nothing speaks the truth like direct observation.  I see so many nannies (as well as moms!) glued to their phones, ignoring their charges at the playground and I'm sure their MB/DBs would not be okay with it.

As to toddlers who can play by themselves - if consistently ignored by a caregiver, yes, they will learn to play by themselves.  My DD *needs* me to play with her all the time.  I remember trying out a nanny and in her first week, I observed her and DD on the nest cam.  Nanny was glued to her phone 95% of the time, looking up or speaking to DD very occasionally, over a 30 minute period.  So yes, DD played by herself.  OP, just because your child was playing by himself doesn't mean he wants to, it could just be the nanny is that inattentive.[/quote]
