[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you need to consider that labelling all younger nannies as one way is akin to labelling all older nannies as another.  All younger nannies have a phone distracting them at all time.  All older nannies sit off to the side and won't play on the floor with children.  Do you see why the stereotypes don't work for everyone?

For what it's worth:  I grew up without a television at home.  I got my first cell phone after I turned 21.  I keep my work phone close to hand, that way I can respond to texts and emails from the parents and send them pictures and videos.  My personal phone stays plugged in, and I don't check it unless I hear a specific ring tone (I'm an emergency contact for someone, and my employer knows).  I'm also only 32, so one of the younger nannies who supposed can't put a phone down.  My charges are more inclined to use electronics all day than I am![/quote]

I wouldn't categorize thirty-two as a younger Nanny.

Younger Nannies are typically in their early-mid twenties or so.[/quote]
