[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this all sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Assuming she can see your son while she's having her tea, this is really a necessary way of ensuring she isn't spoiling him with constant 1:1 attention all day. If he needs her, she's available to jump in, but she's encouraging him in independent play which is developmentally appropriate (and seriously, you don't want a child who's used to having a nanny at his beck and call every waking moment, trust me).[/quote] Agree. OP, it sounds like you have a great nanny, I wouldn't be petty over having a tea and snack and calling it a "break". When she is there, she is on the clock the entire time ensuring that your child is in a safe and healthy environment. At 2 years old, it's completely age appropriate for your nanny to let your child learn to play solo. Children do not need constant interaction at that age. I'm glad you got some positive feedback on here and I hope your nanny appreciates you as a MB because you seem pretty level-headed. [/quote]
