[quote=Anonymous]Unacceptable and I cannot believe anyone would be able to reconcile this one. OP, I was not a nanny, but I did stay home with DS for two years. When my child was that young, I was aware of what the dangers were in my house, what my son was capable of, and how long he could be left alone. I remember at that age, I did not leave him alone unless he was contained. If I had to use the restroom, he'd go in the pack and play. If I was doing laundry, he would come with me. Maybe I'd take a gamble, like if we were upstairs and someone rang the doorbell, I MIGHT run down the stairs to check the door while keeping an ear out and then run back up the stairs. I am not a perfect parent and have had close calls with my child, but I can honestly say I cannot think of a single situation where he could have escaped the house. It's just one of those things - with a child that young and that mobile, I want someone who has that level of situational awareness. [/quote]
