[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is a tough one. I like the APs to feel connected, but, at the same time, I am just appalled when I observe an AP, nanny, or parent so wedded to the phone that they have no clue on what is up with their charges, wandering off, teetering dangerously on a slide, etc. We had four APs who were great and knew how to toggle between their electronics and kids' care. Then we had one who was so absolutely horrible that I became very strict about phone/iPad/etc usage. Current AP is fabulous and very disciplined. She can be on her iPad while kids have playdates in nearby room - always has her pulse on situation. If the AP is mature and able to handle electronics, I will be more amenable. If they can't, and still can't after a warning, then I will take them into rematch. That one horrible AP made me realize that I will never permit that in our home again. [/quote]
