[quote=Anonymous][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!

And I clearly stated the nanny should follow her rules. I just mentioned having a tv on is not dangerous.

When I started my job mb said to me girl what are you doing turn that tv on what kind of shows do you like? We keep our tv on all day long. We have all the movie channels, watch or order whatever you like. [/quote]
