[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is exactly why I have nanny cams I don't disclose. If I catch you napping on my dime your gone.[/quote]

I feel like that's a lucky escape for your nanny.  Are you the type who throws a fit if your nanny dare take a break during her 12 hour shift?

Want your money's worth, right?[/quote]

NP, but yes. [b]I don't sleep on the job.[/b] It's so strange to insists this is ok. [/quote]

You also probably make a lot more than me, and have different responsibilities and a different work environment.

As I said before, it's up to the employers.  You don't allow it, so your nanny should not nap.  Simple.

Other employers allow it, even encourage it.  My employers happen to allow it, and I have a room set up if I need a nap.  I've slept twice.  Once I fell asleep on the floor while my charges were napping.  I slept for about 15 minutes.  The other time I had a migraine, I was between calling the parents to come home or taking a nap while my charges napped.  I napped for about an hour in a half.

Previous employers also said I could nap when my charges napped.  In three years I fell asleep three times, twice on accident.  I worked 12pm to 12am, and one of my charges went through a faze where she wanted me to lay with her as she fell asleep.  I fell asleep twice.  Once sleeping about 30 minutes once sleeping for four hours.  The third time I napped no children were home but I was still getting paid for doing other activities.  I ended up with another migraine, got sick and fell asleep for about an hour.

It's a different working environment.  I don't think most nannies are sleeping several hours every day, it's just something that is available if they need to recharge for whatever reason.  What is it to you what other nannies do?  It's not on your almighty dollar.[/quote]
