[quote=Anonymous]I don't get what the big deal is here about a nanny taking a nap on the job. If she did it when the child was awake, obviously this would be neglect plain + simple. But c'mon...as long as the child is secure and asleep in his crib, then why shouldn't the nanny be able to rest alongside him? As long as the baby monitor is on and she has the T.V. off, etc. it should be okay. Even more so if she is w/him for long stretches at a time. Now if it were a four hr. day, then yes...I would cry out "Lazy Nanny!!" But childcare is hard ass work. Physically and emotionally draining. To the max. A 10 hr day w/an infant or toddler is very taxing. So when they nap in the middle of the day, let the nanny nap right alongside them. Then when they awaken for the second half of the day, the nanny is refreshed and energized enough to take on the rest of the day!! A burned out nanny is never good for anyone and the sad thing is that the child suffers the most.[/quote]
