[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Also, if your child breaks the nanny's cell phone, glasses, etc it's usually the employers responsibility as well.[/quote]
I'm a nanny, and I disagree with this.  I don't allow children to play with my glasses or phone.  I can't imagine telling a parent, "I allowed your kid to play with my iphone and she broke it, so you need to buy me a new one."

I think that would depend on the circumstances. Working with special needs kids who have a tendency to be very aggressive, some of my stuff has gotten broken (not just my stuff - a couple of my fingers and my nose, too!). Not that this is the case for most, but if, say, the child yanked the glasses off the nanny's face and threw them, that's different than if the nanny gave her phone to the child to play with. Just my opinion. [/quote]

+1 on circumstances.

8yo steals my phone off the counter and drops it in the sink by accident? I'd ask for the parents to cover that.

2yo chews on my phone when I hand it to her to keep her occupied for a moment? I'd cover that myself.[/quote]
