[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand you don't want your nanny watching tv during the day if the baby is awake. I also understand you don't want your baby watching tv. I totally respect that and your nanny should not have done that as she was told not to.

With that being said I watch tv with babies all the time. My bosses don't care and think its weird when the tv is not on. I am fully capable of watching the baby and interacting while the tv is on for background noise. The baby I watch is not in danger. [/quote]

This has nothing to do with anything.  It's the OP'a prerogative to have a no TV rule and to hire a nanny that follows her rule.  FWIW the AAP recommends children under 2 don't watch TV and a 9 month-old is old enough to watch (or crawl away) if the TV is on.    Also, if your are watching TV you are not ENGAGING the baby - something little kids need.  If you are actually engaged, why do you have the TV on?  Play the radio or Pandora for background noise!

OP - I'd keep checking in on the nanny cam for a few more weeks.  It sounds like she got it, but I think only time will tell how seriously she takes this and any other rules you have).  Hope it all works out!
