[quote=Anonymous]I think there are nannies out there who sit their charges in front of the T.V. all day and let the T.V. entertain the child and do all the work. They kill the hours by putting on show after show and parents are basically paying the nanny to work the remote control all day. These nannies are abusing the T.V. privilege tenfold and your DB is categorizing you into one of these nannies which is not fair.

There are some parents out there, hello Alicia Silverstone, who do not let their children have any screen time for personal reasons and that is their personal choice. But it doesn't make any sense if a parent is not anti~television in general, they just only allow it when THEY are home. It's like they are saying to the nanny, "Yes, childcare is hard work, but we don't give a shit, we are paying you, you are on our time, so do your job OUR way or hit the highway, but when we come home....We can do things OUR way which is putting the child in front of the television the rest of the evening so we can rest up and ignore the child since we paid you to give the child the attention that we do not give him."

Your DB made an assumption that you were going to sit the child in front of the T.V. ALL day long and abuse the privilege, when all you asked for was a small portion of the time.

As a nanny, my bosses allow me as much T.V. as I choose for my charges, but I know not to take full advantage of this privilege and since I work between 9~11 hr. shifts, I usually allow no more than an hr. per day. I make sure this hr. is used wisely. Meaning right before parents come home while I load dishwasher, wipe countertops/tabletops, clean highchairs and sweep floors. My goodness without that T.V. time I could still do my job, but it is so much easier with Bubble Guppies to entertain them. :)[/quote]
