[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not safe and highly irresponsible. If I learned our nanny was doing this, I would let her go. Very poor judgment at the very least.

You know people have been held criminally liable for accidents and other events that occurred when they were functioning with far too little sleep?

And no, I would not hire a mom of a new infant to take care of my children. I want someone who gets enough sleep. This is something I try to screen carefully for in interviews. I also exclude candidates who have a school schedule that keeps them in class until 10pm an hour away from home, as I can do the math on commute time, probable bed time, and morning commute time. My kids' safety means I've passed on good candidates who are simply overextending themselves. [/quote]

Passing up a person because they are trying to better their lives by going to school? That is so ridiculous. Many people ( not just nannies) can go to school and work with no problem. I work from 8-5 and go to school from 6-9:45. I go to bed at 12. 12-7. That is plenty of sleep. [/quote]

I'm the person upthread with the 15 month old saying OP's potential sleep deprivation is potentially extremely dangerous.  I would have no problem with someone getting 7 hrs of sleep!  That seems pretty standard for most people (at least according to a recent thread on the other part of this forum) and obviously plenty of people handle it just fine.  I think the other MB is kind of weird that she has an issue with this.  [/quote]
