[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an excellent nanny. I use my phone the same way most parents use theirs--to send and receive texts/emails that are necessary or important, to take pics, to look things up...I don't force myself to never look at it, because I am a human being. Amazing how many hyper controlling moms on here.[/quote]

I am a nanny and carry a flip-phone when I am working that only my employers have the number to.  Obviously I receive no other texts or calls but from the parents when I am with their child.  It is not difficult at all!  You are working - so work!  If I need to make appointments during working hours, I use my break time when the children are napping.  When I nanny for children who are too old to nap, I take a few seconds when they are actively engaged in something IN THE HOUSE and take the few seconds necessary to make my call.  If I need to look something up, I use the house computer (again - in the home and not outdoors or in public when I should have my eyes on the children at all times).

Am I hyper controlling of myself?!  LOL  No, Sweetie, I am simply a grown-up and a professional.  [/quote]
