[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take my 3 year-old and 11 month-old (I'm mom) to the pool a couple times a week. 3 year-old wears puddle jumper and I hold the baby. I do have a raft that the baby can float in, but not all pools allow them. [/quote]

Yea it's really not that hard. I'm shocked to see a nanny here complaining, and even more shocked to find other nannies agreeing with her. Not all jobs are a good fit for everyone and for OP nannying is clearly not the job for her.[/quote]

You can be obtuse and be a jackass if you want. I know this childs behavior and am accustomed to it, but not while at a pool where he could run near a larger pool while I have the baby in my hands. Even his mother has her husband with her when they go.  Like I said I have a charge that just started walking and the older displays very sporadic behavior and temperament. He is already getting treatment for these issues. My concern is safety. If you only have snarky insults to offer why respond? does it make you feel better about yourself?[/quote]

You can explain it all you want. But seriously if I was your MB and found out you always felt moments away from losing control of the children. If you have these fears at the pool then a parking lot, a playground, or even the sidewalk would be just as dangerous with you.[/quote]

My mb is aware of his behavior and he actually behaves better for me than he does with them.  We do a lot of activities together and I have to keep a very close eye on him.  He usually is medicated but the last 2 weeks has not been and his behavior has been worse for all of the people that work with him.  He goes back to the doctor tomorrow for another evaluation.  I am able to take him to the store without issue yet when she takes him if he gets upset its not uncommon for him to pull things off of shelves and run from her etc.

[b]So now what say you?[/b][/quote]

Same thing as before. I hope beyond hope that your lack of ability doesn't lead to this child being seriously injured or worse. Everything you write breaks my heart =([/quote]
