[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My NF got lucky with me because they can reach me anytime. We often communicate after hours. I don't mind it at all. Luckily I don't hate my NF like the rest of you do, I appreciate the communication and planning we do.

I guess the best thing for everyone would just be finding the right type of family for you. If you are an older nanny why isn't very good with handling a cell phone then you might be better with an old fashioned family. But then if you are a younger more current nanny you could work with a younger family that does things differently.[/quote]

Probably true.  We have an older nanny who never uses her cell phone when she is caring for my child.  For us, that alone is worth the very, very few times we have needed to call her on her off hours to ask a question.  [b]We are also (we being nanny, DH and I) very organized and keep a log of DS's activities, meals, diaper changes, etc and always have ten minutes to go over his day at the end of Nanny's day.[/b]  [/quote]

This is the key.  There is no reason to call about the lost lovey if the lovey is always put back in the same place.  So many of the after-hours texts can be avoided in this - and any line of work - if all the parties involved take a few minutes to organize and communicate before they leave.  [/quote]
