[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again.

What nannies do not seem to realize is how much of an issue their cell phone use is becoming.  The stereotypical nannies texting while her charges play is a scene we have all seen WAY too much of since the introduction of the smart phone.  More and more working mothers are talking about this as a fireable offense as some nannies cannot seen to control their addictions to texting and social media for even a three hour stretch.

A child is going to be seriously hurt or killed while the nanny is looking at her phone and not paying attention -- and then this issue will become paramount.  [/quote]
[b]Do you really believe it's appropriate to isolate a human being from adult communication 10-12 hours a day, five days a week?[/b] Who are you fooling?

Best to hire a professional who will provide excellent care for your child, even though it costs more.[/quote]

Our nanny was able to handle being alone with the baby and NEVER using her cell phone.  She is an excellent nanny but not super-human!!!  She interacted with people when she went on walks but she understood her responsibility.  Now that DC is older and a toddler, she is out and about with him everyday for classes and play-dates.  Our nanny is a professional - you are a spoiled child.  You can actually live without checking your social media or talk to your friends for 10 hours!

Some of you girls as so childish.  We all existed without cell phones for decades and no one dies of isolation when caring for children!  [/quote]
