[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I feel it was very unprofessional for your Nanny to have socialized w/her husband while working.
I would feel uneasy seeing pictures of my child in the lap of someone I had never even met!
Your Nanny should have known better.

Yes, I would request that she no longer socialize w/her husband while working.

I get how tough it can be working for parents who telecommute.
It is tough, especially if the parents are in ear shot or there is not a ton of space.
I always feel like I should make sure that my charge + I do not make too much noise while playing which can be a significant challenge at that age.

Depending on how cold it gets where you live - I think during the winter season as long as it is not raining or snowing heavily or below 50-55 degrees, taking a stroller or foot walk should be done as much as possible.
I wouldn’t have a huge problem w/them going to the indoor mall, out to eat, etc. as I know a Nanny can get bored staying in the house so long.
Happy Nanny = Happy Child.
Though w/us still being in a pandemic it is totally understandable to want to limit your child’s contact w/others.

I suggest you suggest certain activities they can do in the home.
Maybe even purchase certain toys that your child can only play with when the Nanny is there.

Some ideas:
• Play Doh in the high chair or on a patio outside 
• Coloring on plain paper or a coloring book 
• Sticker play (child can put stickers on paper or coloring book
• Blowing bubbles
• 1/2 Hr every day of screen time watching a show that incorporates some form of education.
Kids at this age range love Cocomelon!

There’s zero reason to use screens under 2.  Between 2 and 5, minimal screens (a 2 minute clip of dancinkg kids that explains thunder and oh tiny s the extent that I do).[/quote]
