[quote=Anonymous]OP here. - Sorry, I didn't come back the other day.

My baby is almost a year. She's been with him since around 4 months. Though this is the longest stretch of day to day solo care for her with him. To address a couple of things that were brought up. I have the cameras for the purpose of making sure he's being properly cared for. Not to invade her privacy or stalk her. I probably check the cameras a couple of times a week. My husband works from home sometimes, my parents stop by intermittently and unexpectedly, so I feel I'm covered for anything that may be off with the care. A couple of things about my child's behavioral patterns: He doesn't like to engage with others that much when playing in his 'zone'. Whether it's us, the nanny or other small kids, if he has a toy and is engrossed, if you attempt to intervene or change course, he will many times abandon the toy and go to something else. I had a little bit of a hard time accepting that he may desire 'alone' time like real people do, but it seems to be the case, at least right now. So, there are often times that I will let him play/crawl around while I fold laundry or do something else. I'm fine with that for her and us. But I try not to do any screen time when he's on the loose, because I think it's too easy to get distracted keeping me from providing proper supervision.

So I guess I have a problem with the game playing/texting more than maybe I'd have a problem with her reading...Sounds kinda petty.

She is extremely loving with him (as witnessed on the video) and he adores her. I want to trust her to be a responsible adult, but she does need more guidance. FWIW, I have gotten ZERO of those daily updates I requested so far this week....I'll take care of that tomorrow.
