[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you need to take a page - literally - from the program's playbook ... maybe espouse the level of tolerance for non-parents that DCPR is able to muster. Here is what it says on page 7:

"Nanny/Duty Parent Policy 
In an effort to make Co-op available to all families, regardless of the employment status of the parents, the District policy is to allow nannies, or other primary caregivers (such as grandparents) to perform Co-op parent duties."

Yes. This makes perfect sense. I'm surprised this is even a thread. Of course the nanny should do the co op hours. What is the alternative? Paying a nanny to do nothing while the MB takes leave to cover something the nanny can easily do? Especially when the nanny is already being paid for the hours when the family doesn't have co op duty to do nothing? Makes no sense at all.

It sounds like the usual entitled DCUM nanny syndrome. IRL, I know plenty of families in co ops with nannies and other caretakers, and the caretakers participate in co op duty without being irrationally outraged by it.[/quote]
